  March 1, 2024 - Velvet upon velvet. Very pleasurable. Ripe dried apricots, apples, honeysuckle, river pebbles, a subtle hint of forest floor.
  
  What a delightful wine.

  January 9, 2024 - Medium crimson with slight bricking in color. Red and black fruits, spice, and dried flower notes all emerge from the glass, and follow on to the palate. Drinking very well right now. I am glad I have one left.

  September 11, 2023 - Appearance: Clear, medium garnet with slight edge browning. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developed aromas of dried cherry, cranberry, brown sugar, cinnamon, and new leather - subtle but intriguing. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium- tannin, medium+ intensity, medium body, 14.5% abv with flavors of dried cherry, tobacco, brown sugar, and cinnamon with a medium+ finish.
  
  Balance: Excellent
  Length: Excellent
  Intensity: Excellent
  Complexity: Excellent
  
  This was opened with 2 glasses poured on day 1 and then stored in a temperature controlled Somm du Vin for 3 nights. I honestly expected this to be DOA on day 4, but it held up remarkably well. While I believe this is fully mature today, it has enough stuffing to drink well for another year or two.

  December 11, 2022 - Imbibed as part of a 4 year vertical of RR bottlings including 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2020. This was a few folks favorite, and some guessed it as older than the '06. Showed a bit more fruit and liveliness compared to the '06Fresh raspberry nose, with some tartness.
