December 31, 2020 - Remarkably well balanced after an hour of decanting. Blackberries, leather, dark cherries. Late peak.

June 14, 2017 - P&p. Fresh sharp aroma like crushed cherries and boysenberries sprinkled with thyme and lavender. Similar flavors; heavy, sappy dried herbs/garrigue, maybe too much at first but with some palate acclimation it works. Good acidity contributes to cohesion and lift. Lingering sappy thyme/garrigue. Characterful with tons of typicity; a bit of a thymebomb but enjoyable for what it is.

December 4, 2016 - Pnp through Nuance Wine Finer. Dark plum color. On the nose, dark fruit, a little raisin, a little spice. On the palate, light tannins, smooth up front with dark fruit flavor. Spice on the long finish. Very interesting for the price point. 90pts. Aloha!
