  April 4, 2023 - Decanted about an hour. Deep purplish ruby color. No bricking. Toasted coconut is the predominant aroma, alongside some rhubarb and jalapeño pepper. Black cherry and vanilla flavors carried forth by noticeable tannins that are grippy, but pliant. Probably in another couple hours the tannins will soften some, but right now they are pretty aggressive. Not terribly complex, but tasty nonetheless. 88-89 right now. Decent mid-week wine.

  July 20, 2022 - This was not a polished wine to begin with but like an old boxer battered and weathered (but still fighting on), at 10 years past it has developed a certain "polished" character. Rough but smooth at the same time.
  
  Dark brick red in the glass, nice grape florals on the nose, tannic but quickly transitioning to smooth, rustic, earthy, acids noticeable but pleasant, vague dark fruits, lingering finish.
  
  Paired successfully with a wide range of foods/dishes. Great restaurant wine if you can find it.
  
  Last tasted back in 2018, same score.
