October 10, 2021 - Decanted two hours. Clean, mature garnet. Nose of plum, leather, and pine. Juicy, savory, almost animal on the palate, ripe black fruit, minerals, roasted meat. Good on its own, alchemically stellar with food, absolutely lit up with pumpkin ravioli. I've been a little tepid on previous bottles of this, but excited to have more, this is finally coming into its own.

September 8, 2021 - More evolved than the bottle I drank last year but still wonderful. Nose of sour cherries, plum, currant, olives, herb, potpourri, and balsamic notes. A beautiful wine that still needs a healthy decant and on night #2, getting more of the savory, syrupy, balsamic notes. Drink now.

Tannins blew off quickly
Great nose
Gentle fruit some forest floor on the palate
Years of life left but in a drinking window
