March 3, 2024 - Nose: fresh cut cedar, light blackberry, baking spice
Palate: blackberry, vanilla, baking spice; finish a bit sweet with vanilla, blackberry syrup; medium+ body; medium+ acidity; high- tannin; low+ heat
Overall thoughts: There's some hedonistic pleasure to be found here, but overall, it's a bit of a mess, or at least quite rough around the edges with a bit of sweetness, a hint of heat, and too much stuffing. There is a a good amount of structure here, so it may come together in time. Good wine. -

July 26, 2023 - Nez expressif et chageant. Fumée, boisé et évolue sur la cassonade et l anis. En bouche, c est ample et corsé. Les tanins sont beaux. Tres belle longueur. Vin à partager, car il pourrait devenir rapidement lourdeau

February 3, 2023 - Had with Joe and Gloria. Felt a little flat after the paradigm. Does not have the acid but does have the smooth ripe dark fruit.
