  January 12, 2019 - Nose of earth and maybe a bit of cherry. Not strong. I like a nice nose.
  Medium body. Medium finish. It's nice -- but it doesn't seem like there's a lot going on. A bit disappointed.

  December 21, 2018 - Time to drink, color is bricking and fruit is turning towards prune. Not bad, but past it’s peak.

  December 15, 2017 - Very little on the nose, mild black cherry and leather notes that abruptly finished. Perhaps a victim of bottle variation, this bottle disappointed.

  August 12, 2017 - A year since my first one and it really hasn't changed in any measurable way. Profound and lovely nose, firm (though a shade softer) tannins, a perimeter of grippy acidity, and slightly obtrusive alcohol. Medium length finish. I still think I like where this is headed. 5+12+16+9 = 92

  August 28, 2016 - Best after an hour or two open. Beautiful burnt ruby color, about 60% opaque with quick legs and no sediment. Typical, highly floral nose with a little extra funkiness that, I think, makes it quite interesting. Light to medium body, good juicy acidity, and plenty of sweet fruit to complete the package. Tannins are still in adolescent form and could probably use a few more years to smooth out. It's also a bit hot on the tongue which, I presume has much to do with the vintage and that dampens my score. Other than that, I think it's fantastic. I'm glad to have a few more to spread out over time. 5+12+17+8= 92
