February 11, 2024 - New Zealand Trip; 2/10/2024-2/24/2024: Light primary ruby, certainly younger looking than the Valli. Some fennel and menthol aromas but not as aggressively stemmy as the prior wine. Medium weight, light wood underneath, excellent sense of roundness and harmony. Ripe dark red and black fruit, anise, uplifting citrus peel, moderate tannins, and a serious soil-inflected finish. Outstanding wine with the balance to age well for another decade, I’d imagine.

December 14, 2023 - Dark leafy perfume, blue and boysenberries, lifted sousbois, round perfumey notes and wood spice. On palate, chewy, still tight, savoury leather, ashy bitter, bright acidity, clunky and a weird streak of disjointed bitter cherries. Nothing like the nose promised. Yes, concentration and maybe power, but awkward.
Very odd, the previous bottle I 7 years ago wasn't any better. Not sure about this producer...
(note: curious plenty tasting notes below focusing on tannins... in a pinot! that should set off some flags...) -

November 3, 2023 - In a very good spot, tannins resolved, cherry and spice with some avouriness ride the tongue. A lovely wine.

October 30, 2023 - tasted over three days...
lovely cherry flavors with spices, saline notes, cellulose, coffee and truffles... good length and in perfect balance... probably a wine in its perfect drinking window. -
