  April 5, 2023 - Wines Before / At / After a Passover Seder (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Black cherry, meaty spice, hints of mushroom and leather faintly emerging. Clearly not ripe, but nothing green, either, this is charming and balanced with medium+ weight. Very good now.

  January 20, 2021 - Alongside the 2010. This has been so charming and balanced since release, and continues to be so enjoyable. Black cherry, leather, woodsy spice combine with good+ weight and even better balance. Better for now vs 2010, and maybe the rare 2011 that will continue to be better, but it will be close.

  March 14, 2020 - Red and black cherry aromas and flavors with hints of black licorice and animale. Good weight, very good balance. Perhaps still some slight upside, but so charming and friendly right now.

  November 27, 2018 - Lots of red cherry with roasted meat and earth. Good+ weight and length with tannins still a little assertive, but very close to very good harmony. This still has upside from here. Great value wine.

  July 18, 2015 - All red fruit with lots of sauvage and braised meat character. Still slightly firm, albeit softer than a year ago. I like the direction where this is evolving.
