  January 14, 2024 - Nice QPR. Thanks Garagiste! PNP with a jumble of tastes that sorted themselves out as we drank over 2-3 hours. Started with some autumn leaves and black tea. Evolved to Morello cherry and some freshness. .

  December 26, 2023 - This bottle seemed a bit linear. Hoping for better next time.

  September 24, 2023 - 4th of 6 bottles, last had this wine about a year prior.
  Decanted for 30 mins and tasted on the porch, at the end of a long weekend of stellar wines.
  It was shy and backward at first, finally revealing the tart cherry fruit profile, seemed to be darker-fruited this time, with some tobacco and anise.
  Tannins are still slightly gritty and present, with nice acidity. Good but not great tonight. Drink through 2025 or so.

  October 22, 2022 - Excellent, in a nice place now. This was the first of two bottles purchased 7+ years ago and patience was rewarded. Some tertiary notes are starting to present while the fruit, though not exuberant, still retains some punch. The most recent CT TNs below going back to 2020 tell it well. This is a classic and restrained.
  
  This paired beautifully with a "Beef in Barolo" recipe for which we used Cab as the stew wine!
  
  14.5% abv. I'd have guessed 13.5%. No heat whatsoever.
