September 25, 2022 - Cassis, black raspberry, plum skin, tobacco, pencil lead. Medium-full body. Medium, drying tannins. Medium-long finish. Very nice now, I doubt it will improve further.

November 27, 2021 - Crème de cassis, blackberry, pencil lead, dark cherry, tobacco, baking spice. Medium-full body. Medium light, grainy tannins. Medium-long finish. Fruit-driven and drinking really well right now. Unlikely to improve further, but should drink well for ~3 more years.
