  April 20, 2024 - Very deep red in colour and clear with a nose of dark berries, this wine showed exceptionally well tonight. Nuanced flavours of blueberries and a hint of spices. The tannins were there as was the acidity but this wine continues to be more like a Bordeaux wine than an in your face Napa wine. This will still age for quite a while in my opinion and it showed so much better than my last bottle.

  February 2, 2024 - Ditto to my 2022 note on this wine. But the integration was better and the texture was better. Would’ve added a point to 95, but the Finish was not as lengthy as I remembered before. Aroma and flavor profile was the same. Definitely a great bottle of wine. Highly recommended

  January 6, 2023 - This clear wine was decanted for an hour prior to drinking. It was deep garnet red in colour with a muted nose of dark berries. In the glass was a surprisingly full bodied wine with flavours of dark berries and some graphite. Both the tannins and acidity were quite strong and I would've guessed that this was close to 100% Cabernet Sauvignon as opposed to the approximately 43% Merlot that was in this.

  December 10, 2022 - Opaque dark garnet core at 10 years old with minimal bricking on the edge Medium + bodied with a great silky mouthfeel aromas of cedar, black currant and graphite followed by black currant, blue berry, dark plum, and smoky grilled herbs. A melange of tea and coffee to go with more graphite. It wasn’t that interesting at first but after about 2 hours it was lighting up the room. Very strong effort for a second wine. Highly recommended.
