March 13, 2024 - Similar to the bottle I had during the summer. We opened 3 hours prior to dinner and then poured through a soiree. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was blackberry, tobacco, fig and a touch of dried leaves. The finish is long. This wine is in really good place. 93+
February 9, 2024 - Part of a "Little Brother" or 2nd wine night with my wine group at a NYC restaurant. It was opened, but not decanted for over an hour before pouring. Both mine and the group favorite. It tasted a little muted at first, so I think it would have benefited from an hour long decant. It only started to bloom after 30 minutes in a 1/3 full wine glass. Then it was magnificent. Full bodied with a long finish.
December 25, 2023 - Consistent with previous tasting notes.
October 26, 2023 - Similar to the bottle I had during the summer. We opened 3 hours prior to dinner and then poured through a soiree. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was blackberry, tobacco, fig and a touch of dried leaves. The finish is long. This wine is in really good place and should stay there for a while.
August 19, 2023 - It has been over a year since I last tried a bottle. We opened 3 hours prior to dinner and then poured through a soiree. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was blackberry, tobacco, fig and a touch of dried leaves. The finish is long. This wine is in really good place and should stay there for a while.
July 3, 2023 - Unbelievable juice. Dark fruit nose. Huge full bodied on the palate with soft tannins At its best.
June 2, 2023 - Excellent bottle, aging well. Dark fruit. Long finish! Pnp - drank well over two hours. Cork in great shape. This bottle has much more time. Great value.
May 19, 2023 - Drinking beautifully right now after an hour decant.
March 8, 2023 - Thought it would be a big alcohol cab. Was pleasantly surprised it was a subtle drinking wine once it opened up
February 14, 2023 - Last of 6 bottles. Wish I had more, but so good could not keep my hands off of it. Excellent dark purple fruit backbone, near completely resolved tannins, and great depth of flavor at this stage of maturity. Probably at its peak now, and although I do not think there is any need to hurry, I am also doubtful that this will continue to substantially improve. Could be wrong, but I would drink within the next 2-5 years.
