March 9, 2024 - From a magnum I opened six weeks ago (see my 1/25/24 TN) and has been sitting on my kitchen counter ever since (cork re-inserted), revisited occasionally since. Nothing has faded since. I could cut-and-paste. This might have gotten ever-so-slightly sweeter over the 6 weeks.

February 18, 2024 - Agrees with others. Consumed over a few weeks. Multidimensional, layered, complex, structured. Hits all the right places when it comes to a wine with complexity. Signature flavors include toasted coco, resin, caramel, black molasses. Hints of citrus. A real treat.

January 25, 2024 - The Roots Fund Charity Wine Dinner (Atelier - Chicago IL): Magnum. So much here- caramel, fig, dark chocolate, orange peel, Marcona almonds, and lots more. Good length.

December 25, 2023 - Black as midnight with brown edges under the light. Brown sugar and chocolate on the nose. Velvety and viscous texture with intense notes with notes of dark chocolate, lime zest, caramel, oats, and zipping acids. Lovely wine, quite unique.
