February 9, 2023 - Goes good with perogies and spicy Italian sausage. Still has some, but not much, time to age. Driink sooner than later.

December 9, 2022 - Even at age 9, it needed 2 hrs decant to soften rough edges and round out a strong licorice note. But as it opened up it balances beautifully. Black cherry fruit with hints of violet and anise, a little wet stone with medium dusty tannins and medium acidity. Very nice.

April 26, 2022 - Molto Bene Nota Bene! (Vino Loco & Lolo's Seaside Tasting Lodge): Part of eight vintage vertical. This was probably the best aged wine of the bunch. Lovely nose of mature red and dark red fruit with a hint of balsamic and salted liquorice. That combo transfers well to the palate. Medium bodied and elegant but a note of restraint. Medium finish. Tied for 2nd amongst the group. Kinda of the type of wine you stop thinking about and start enjoying. Drink up!
