September 13, 2023 - In a good, perhaps best it will be, place. Smoky cherry fruit with leather, a decent acidity and a moderate finish. Drink any time, maybe within 1-2 years.

April 29, 2023 - Coffee and chocolate hints in the nose which isn’t very lifted. Flavors of cherry, sous bois, herbs and a pretty good dose of tannin and acid. Drink any time.

December 18, 2022 - Medium garnet. Complex aromas of red and dark fruit, leather, dried rose petals, heath. Fresh red fruit on the palate with clear lilting acids, smooth tannins on the long finish with lovely aromatic back notes. Carries its 14. 5% alcohol very well.

November 20, 2022 - Light ruby. Leather, dry rose petals, tar on the nose. On the palate, bright red fruit, light body, very dry, strong integrated tannins high acid, beautiful aromatic back note, long tannic aromatic finish. Perfect with Marcella Hazan spaghetti bolognese. Seems somewhat withdrawn at the moment, with a promise of more.

October 31, 2021 - Pale ruby. Complex aromas of dried cherries, leather, cloves, orange peel, and roses. Dark salty fruit on the palate with a sweet and sour acid frame, light crisp tannins in the very long finish. Medium body, 14.5% alcohol. Perfect with a German rabbit stew.
