March 17, 2024 - Part of a great evening with @Ian Leath and @Shine J. This was very close in my opinion to the O’Shaughnessy Veeder ‘15. I felt like one thing that set it apart for me was the weight and slight Pritchard Hill depth. It was close. Red and black fruits, floral, iron, rock dust, tobacco, dark chocolate notes. Nice finish.

December 28, 2023 - This ‘12 took the whole dinner to fully express itself the best. Was tannic, tight, leathery, taut and shy for several hours. With 5 plus hours, gorgeous reddish dark fruit emerged, wine softened up, added some red iron, earth, florals and velvety tannins. I’ll hold my last bottle for a bit. Cheers!

December 24, 2023 - Took this Hexameter to Christmas Eve dinner at my parents. Wow!! An incredible wine. Big, bold, complex, and the fruit is perfect at this moment. The wine is at its pinnacle. I don't think it will get better. Magnificent juice!! Merry Christmas!!
