May 25, 2020 - Very similar to last bottle. Great fill. Modest amount of sediment. Took over an hour to fully open. A dry wine with ripe black, blue and red fruits. Some dried underbrush elements with still firm and chewy tannins, but not course. The 54%PV makes this non-traditional Bordeaux blend interesting.

March 24, 2020 - Even better than my last bottle. The PV dominates, but not in a bad way. This is certainly a different blend and that's what increases its interesting factor. Very smooth with overripe dark fruits in abundance without too much sweetness. Some sweet Oak and underbrush.

March 8, 2020 - Base neck fill. Bricking but no orange. 54% Petit Verdot truly dominates. Some blue fruits in background. A somewhat austere wine in terms of overripe Cali fruit, but plenty of character and nuance here. Smooth with underbrush, Oak, and hints of eucalyptus emerging. No reason to wait any longer. This bottle probably had more fruit a few years ago.
