March 14, 2024 - Quite open and layered on the nose, but really structured and a little tight on the palate. Lovely aromatics of pepper, spices, dark fruit, meat. Well integrated acidity, round tannins, lovely fruit. A bit drying towards the mineral finish, very long and persistent. 92-94

October 13, 2023 - Corawine'd 2/3 bottle, lost some of its energy and fruit since taking the first glass a few months ago. Not the best advertisement for coravin .(
