September 15, 2022 - Lots of Cherry, Still a little tannic, could have laid down for another 4 years.

December 27, 2021 - This is the second bottle that I poured out 1/2 the bottle because of bad aroma and nasty aftertaste

December 3, 2021 - Only decanted at the restaurant and even slow drinking, it still needed more. Also unfair drinking right after 2008 To Kalon, which was much smoother. The fruit is powerful, but cherry notes are pleasing. I have rated other years higher, but that may be unfairly sensitive to a generally bad year.

October 22, 2021 - Intense dark cherry, vanilla, cedar, and oak on the nose. Took about an hour to 90 minutes to open up and release these aromas. They are well integrated. In the mouth I can still taste cherry but it is hidden behind a layer of sweet floral candy - a very light musk stick lolly taste. After that the saltiness and an almost iiodine hint kick in which is a saviour of an otherwise to sweet wine. Tanins are good ro excellent and well integrated and also help to balance the musk. I suspect it's a great wine from a bad vintage. Would love to try it in a good year.
