May 6, 2020 - Pleasant wine. Hit of fruit. Relatively simple.
At a peak ? Maybe, but no real urgency to drink up

March 23, 2020 - Seriously dense fruited wine bit not a trivial berry bomb. The wine is properly plush with its concentrated plum and cherry with an intriguing tobacco and floral note of violets and bitter chocolate. The palate obliges by following through with licquorice and gravelly tannins before a long dry finish.

July 2, 2018 - drinking quite well. Complex and layered palate. Spice on the nose along with sandlewood and cherry.
