July 6, 2023 - Beguiling. Massive but elegant, smooth but powerful. There is a mineral purity that holds back the black fruit and cherry that is attempting to break through. It coats your mouth and imprints your palate. You want to drink it all now but I suspect it will mature and potentially reach a whole other level. Not sure I can wait.

September 8, 2022 - Deep color, Nose of deep, dark fruit, same on tongue with ameliorated smooth tannins. Balanced, full bodied, long long finish. Very enjoyable.

July 24, 2021 - Black cherry rim leading to a pitch black heart. Swirling just coats the glass. Bottomless dark nose of beechnut, blackberry syrup, black cherry, cured olive, dark chocolate and charred cherrywood. Uber full bodied, thick and unctuous on the palate. Powerful gobs of rich, ripe, black fruit but silky smooth. There is lots of supporting structure there as well in the acid, alcohol and tannin but they perfectly frame the lush fruit, which is what its all about. Nothing tame, subtle or half-way about this wine. It is big, bold and exotic but oh so perfectly balanced, sleek and delicious! The mouth-coating finish tails off forever and leaves a bit of an acid/alcohol/tannic pinch on the tongue. Stupid good!!! 97 points tonight with parmesan, walnuts and dark chocolate!
