January 6, 2024 - This was a brilliant wine. Pretty light colored with moderate browning. Nose was all sweet red fruits, earth, some light oxidative sherry notes, a hint of green notes, a touch of heat, but it wasnt that distracting. very light bodied, sweet gordeaous red fruits, date-like fruit, some light earthy/loam, leather, warm spices (ground coriander seed?), light drying tannins, really elegant and really in my wheelhouse. Also a really nice finish. Wish I could find more of these of any vintage in the US.

October 28, 2023 - Opened one hour in advance. Complex aroma of earth, leather, and a bit of boysenberry fruit. Smooth but rustic flavors of cherry, leather, mushrooms up front, Cherry fruit dominates the pleasantly bitter finish. To echo others, Wow! This is incredible. Alice describes it as like a mountain nebbiolo. I'll go with that, it's as good a description as any.
I doubt this is going anywhere better, so drink up. -

September 14, 2022 - Oh my god. Glowing garnet, close to perfect wine. Heady rose and lilac and ginger. high acidity and fine tannins that still trace their firmness. Blood Orange and brown bread, scorched earth and perfume. It’s like perfected Barolo, and with a Japanese meal it goes so well with pickled ginger and fatty chūtoro

January 29, 2022 - I agree with comments by FAT.METHENY and SARED, and that would also be my assessment. Adding this note here to point out that this wine is still holding up but has not evolved much over the last 3 years, and hence it is probably at peak. I am going to be pulling all of my remaining bottles from storage for consumption. This one had a good run.
