October 14, 2023 - Big, dense wine. Feels warm. Brooding. Not much aromatic complexity. Density more than anything else. Very Dark fruit. Not much varietal character. Guesses around the table from very experienced tasters were in Ribeira, australian cab and straight naba cab. Says something about the lacking varietal character, but everyone enjoyed it.

October 11, 2023 - Similar to prior notes after a 2 hour double decant, except best bottle yet & has entered peak drinking; outstanding drink or hold, no rush

May 30, 2022 - Similar to prior note PNP at a restaurant; still outstanding, but needs at least an hour decant or more time. Alternatively, this is a new lot I recently purchased & it may be "younger", drink or hold
