January 8, 2022 - Succulent chocolate covered cherries with ample acid, resolved tannins and a long satisfying finish. Decadent and delicious, my WOTN. A couple of years to go but no reason to wait.

August 26, 2020 - Decanted for 60+ minutes. Very first it was pruney, but very shortly everything came together. Plenty of acid and tannin. Certainly has some aging time left. It was soft and plush. Rich deep flavors, not complicated or layered. Just a basic sweetish (not sweet), smooth, balanced, full bodied and straightforward wine. Very easy to like, but be careful of the 15.2% alcohol. I took a nap after dinner!

July 18, 2020 - Pretty outstanding stuff. Rich and the fruit is delicious. Still has a good amount of acidity with a hint of spice and the finish last for a long time. Amazing wine.
