    December 19, 2023 - Silky smooth with red cherry preserves. Layers of flavor, great mouthfeel and a long luxurious finish

    November 19, 2023 - After a one hour decant the nose shows must, faint tobacco leaf, aged cask; would certainly take us for a Bordeaux. Comes across the palate brighter and more lively than one would expect from the bouquet and is driven by dark but watery blackberry and plum. Soft tannins appear upfront and are very well integrated, but don't continue as far into the finish as I'd like. That being said its very approachable, smooth and solid. I have three bottles remaining and will tag for consumption by 2026.

    There was slight alcohol on the finished from standard stems, the notes above are from Somm stems.

    March 1, 2023 - One hour decant. Deep dark ruby magenta core. Fig, black cherry, apricot, orange rind, sweet tobacco, cocoa powder, and subtle freshly extinguished birthday candle. Smooth, tongue drying palate, with great, gravely acidity. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.

    This has aged impressively. Very fresh and well structured for a nearly 11-year old wine.

    February 25, 2023 - notes were similar to the 2018 opened the same evening with a more powerful nose but fruit tasting similar [tart] with more integration
    glad to have gotten in on the bottom floor of these young vines
