June 10, 2021 - Nose was muted. Palate was right. Shoes some red fruit and moderate tannins. Overall a disappointment at this price point.

May 24, 2020 - The fill was into the neck and the cork was pristine. Popped and poured into Grassl 1855’s and consumed over dinner. Notes of cassis, blackberry, plums, hints of earth and spice box. Quite elegant on the palate, very balanced, and not overpowering...right up my alley! Good depth, silky texture, and a long finish. Not a blockbuster (a good thing in my book) and went exceptionally well with the steak.

May 19, 2020 - From coravin. The nose was quite lead pencil in the very beginning, but turned to dark dark fruits after one and half hour aeration. Still way too young at this stage. However, the aeration helped out a lot. On the palate, the dark fruits builted the core of this medium body teenager. In the very beginning, the tannin still bite my tongue with a hint of bitterness, but mellowed out later. Overall, it should get benefits after bottle aging. I will try it again no earlier than 5 years.
