March 23, 2018 - Some funk on the nose which blew off. Crisp cherry fruit with a wee bit of acidity. Well integrated and drinkng well, but this should power on for several more years and maybe improve a point or two. Drink now or hold.

January 2, 2018 - From memory, dark berry fruit on the palate, pie crust on the nose, delicious with rabbit. Within the range of my previous ratings.

November 4, 2017 - Kinda want to like this bottle, shows some promise in an earthy way of coming into it's own, but at this moment is quite tart and sorta all over the place. Try next bottle in 5 years and cross fingers.
