February 2, 2024 - This has improved since the first bottle in 2020. Well made and fine, but no way would I describe it as fruit-forward or voluptuous. Starting to get tertiary flavors. Old world fanciers will like this, more than likely.
Night 2: Better. Less tight knit, more fruit. Still a bit of tar bitterness on the finish. -

January 5, 2024 - Drinking at a very high level & possibly hasn’t yet peaked. Enjoy now if you have a bottle of this beautiful wine that paired perfectly w/pot roast.

September 17, 2023 - Decant 2 hours. Still a bit raw. Serve with a big dish.

April 1, 2023 - beautiful balance of fruit, acids and tannins - spectacular. Maybe another year or 2 of life, but hard to see how it would get better. Drink now
