March 12, 2023 - Blackberry, cherry, tobacco, spice, strawberries, floral, last of 3 from ‘14, waiting on the next round from ‘19. Found Kutch like 10 years only because the restaurant was out of my 1st choice. Lucky

February 23, 2023 - Opened, poured and let sit about 1/2 hr. Then: Not much on the nose. Taste starts out a bit sour/tart and stays there through the finish and end of the glass. Soft mouthfeel; acidity and tannins OK; still pretty much in balance. This is close to the 7/15/23 bottle, but maybe with a bit more sour/tart taste. This is my last bottle and that's OK. Aging didn't do this any favors.

January 28, 2023 - Opened, poured and let sit about 45 min. Then: Maybe a bit of red fruit nose. Taste maybe tart cherry/cranberry; maybe a bit floral. Tannins not an issue until the finish, then they noticeably kick in. Seems to be beginning to lose structure; mouthfeel weak at times; acidity noticeable, but not an issue. The 7/15/22 bottle was OK to drink; this one not so good with the flaws more noticeable.
