    June 17, 2020 - Very similar to our last note with dark spices and fleshy fruit. Still lots of acidity and life to it. Drink till 2025.

    July 25, 2019 - Deep ruby red. A bit of chalk and greenery on the nose with some black cherry and bitter cocoa. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Layered palate coated with cherries, cinnamon, bitter cocoa, volcanic soil, boysenberry and dark strawberries. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2026.

    March 12, 2016 - Ruby red, deep and dark core. Started off a little musty like dried mushrooms and a little earthy on the nose. Opened up to some light red fruit undertones. Quite a bit of acidity. Lots of red cherries, moderate tannins (6/10), body started thin but started beefing up a bit. Definitely seemed fuller on day two. Tannins still strong. Lots of cherries. Long and lingering, dry finish. Decanted for 2 hours. Definitely needs some more time to fully integrate. Drink from 2017 till 2026.
