February 1, 2020 - Consistent with my last bottle. Lovely aromas of dark cherries and raspberries on the nose. Lush but firm fruit, Strawberries, raspberries. Smooth tannins, beautifully balanced acidity. The fruit darkens on the mid-palate and adds earthy notes. Finishes long with bright red fruits, bit of spice. Should drink at this level for another 4 to 5 years.

December 16, 2019 - Barely translucent vibrant cherry red in color. Lovely strawberry, raspberry, violets on the nose. Lively fruit that sits lightly on the palate. Strawberry, raspberry, black cherries. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes long and spicy. Lovely wine that will probably improve for 3 to 4 years.
