  February 5, 2024 - Had several bottles of this wine in the past 5 years.
  And this one is easily the best.
  Gorgeously rich and pure on the nose: black cherries, blueberry pancakes, blackberry preserve.
  This all echoes on the palate and some well dosed pinches of caramel, cocoa, coffee and toast take the wine to another level. Just enough acidity to give it some fraicheur: soft and ripe tannines backing up the long and incessant finish.
  Totally beautiful.

  September 4, 2023 - A bit disappointed to be honest. Decanted an hour.
  Not much fruit. Very earthy, and a lot of oak.
  Good, but would have been much better with some fruit for balance.

  June 10, 2023 - Dark berries and sweet spices in the bouquet. Same on the palate, good acidity and still slightly sticky tannin. Beautiful wine.

  November 9, 2022 - Beautiful and elegant bouquet with ripe dark berries, sweet spices, vanilla, mint and flowers like violets. On the palate blackberries, chocolate, cedar, coffee and forest floor. Beautiful acidity and round tannin. Full bodied, soft and lush wine with a good length.

  October 21, 2021 - This really hits above its price and does honor to its vineyard. Reminds me of Napa cabs in the good old days (mid-90s) before everything went insane. Middle of the fairway flavors and profile, didn’t destroy my teeth and nice drinking over two nights.
