  April 14, 2024 - Wine completely brown & spoiled. My first bottle didn’t taste great either leading me to suspect maltreatment somewhere in the marketing or transportation phase.

  January 24, 2024 - Deep ruby color with dark fruit on the nose and palate. The tannins are noticeable on the mid palate but are well integrated.Drank over 2 nights and it was slightly better on the second night indicating it has some time to go.

  April 6, 2023 - Interesting looking at the other TNs. This was a lovely medium bodied wine getting near the end of its drinking window, but still vibrant. Lots of ripe cherry and strawberry but mixed in with earth, and a little leather. Very open. The tannins are mostly integrated and a medium finish. Great with the pork tenderloin.

  June 30, 2022 - Still tight, primary, a bit tannic. Some nice aromatics over time of pine, menthol and spice. Seems like it needs 5 more years to unfold. Or it just might never really improve much; hard to say at this point. Rating: 89+

  May 12, 2022 - Tasted after a 45 minute decant.
  Medium ruby in colour with a distinct garnet hue and somewhat restrained aromas of earthy minerality.
  On the palate, medium bodied red fruit, dried strawberry, dried red cherry, slightly herbal, a dusty minerality, medium acidity, medium soft tannins & a long finish to black pepper.
  The acidity balances the tannins, seems a little lacking in fruit, but a definite expression of minerality & terroir.
  Not sure if this needed to be consumed younger, or if it needs more cellar time?
