April 21, 2022 - Leather with long finish. Tartness but balanced. Like a very fresh strawberry but without the sweetness.

August 15, 2021 - Completely agree with what SPENCEP recently wrote. From magnum, PnP but stayed consistent for the couple hours that we enjoyed it with grilled ribeyes. Really, really nice wine, great balance, no idea of longevity, but it's singing in 2021.

April 25, 2021 - If you've been patient with this wine, now is the time for you to be rewarded, because it is--finally!--fully awake. Rich, intense, and creamy. Plums, blackberries, citrus, tar, fennel, grilled meat, spices and minerals, a touch of coffee, and (after about 30 minutes in the glass) a long, long, and gorgeous (and especially minerally--almost seawatery) aftertaste. At last, this is everything it has been promising to be for so long. No hurry--this should continue to be a pleasure for another five years and possibly longer.

December 23, 2020 - Returned to this wine after 8 months-- see 4/24/2020. Gorgeous on the nose, but not as vividly present in the mouth, so my guess continues to be that this is near but not yet at its peak. Blueberries, raspberries, plums, spices, coffee, smoke, and a touch of licorice. No hurry on this one.

August 7, 2020 - Dark red fruit, with a cedary spicy edge. Some depth and smidge of complexity, but overall pretty straight forward. very fresh and showing no signs of decline.
