August 12, 2023 - Drinking beautifully, this was soft, tasty, plenty of fruit. Beginning to show some age but this still has years of good drinking ahead.

July 12, 2023 - Decanted for several hours before consuming. It helped. Medium weight. Nice soft fruit. Age notes. Lots of sediment for a not-that-old wine. Consistently good through the palate with a solid alcohol burn at the end (in a good way). It will not likely improve, so drink up.

May 12, 2023 - Friday Night Brown Bagger (R&D’s): Double blind. Notes of incense, perfume and brown sugar over black plummy fruit. Abundant fruit on the palate, with a brown sugar quality appearing in the finish as well. Drinking well. (R&R)
