August 29, 2023 - This wine is in a good place right now. It has been two years since I last tried a bottle. Opened and let sit for two hours prior to dinner which probably was just enough time. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was blackberry, plum, dark cherry and a hint of chocolate. Finish was moderate to long. While we could not be with my daughter who lives in DC we used the wine to toast her birthday.

December 19, 2022 - Definitely want to decant and filter this wonderful wine. Copious amounts of solids. With a little air, the dark brooding fruits make their appearance. A rich, luscious wine.

October 8, 2022 - Huge and concentrated. One to drink in small sips. Blackberry reduction, with tannic grip on the finish. Memorable!

May 5, 2022 - decanted an hour. This wine is still a beast. Blackberry, blueberry, spice, floral and blackcurrant aromas. Similar flavors with blackberry, plum blueberry, blackcurrant and spice. Loaded with flavors. The tannins have softened but are very much present in the long finish. Very good now, but has years to go.

The palate was blackberry, plum, dark cherry and a hint of chocolate. Finish was moderate to long. Next time I will either decant or open 4 hours prior.
