    March 12, 2023 - Purple to ruby at the rim. Open two hours Black fruits to some tannins still remaining. Still some Brett but fruit showing through ends in a 20 second finish


    Still needs more time. Try again in 1 to 2 years

    March 20, 2022 - Dark, deep purple. Minimal nose. Very structured. Minimal fruit. Nice cedar notes and integrated, dusty tannins with a long finish. But out of balance because the fruit was completely dead.

    October 13, 2021 - Enjoyed this.
    Tasted over two nights against the Januik Cab.
    Januik had a purity of fruit and a bit of a stronger core.
    Ethos had some sweet floral notes on top of fruit with power - and oak that was present but not dominated. Tannins that many folks mentioned were present, I had them at Med+, but certainly didn't get in the way, although there was a bit of alcohol still on the finish. I would say both of these were quite delicious and I would give 91/92. Both are ready to drink now - don't really see how they will improve much more.
