  February 27, 2022 - Coming together very nicely. Still has lots of life left. Fruit is solid but the tannins and acidity are now all in balance. Popped it in memory of a dear friend who passed away much too early. He would have loved it !

  January 29, 2022 - Drank blind with the other two 2011 The Debate single vineyard wines. Nose of barn floor, candied cherry, cherry wood, coconut, black cherry, black plum, and some minute notes. Black plum, spice, oak, and smoke on the palate. Finish brings some acidity, then cola, wide tannins, dark cherries, and earth that glides into the oak finale. Best of the three.

  October 15, 2021 - Extracted and syrupy. Candied fruit and blueberry pie on nose. Finish was lacking and tannins all but gone. One dimensional at best. Not impressed.

  July 1, 2021 - Dark ruby, color, minimal decant needed, nose of blackberries and blueberries liquor, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate and some mushrooms. Opened up rather quickly and palate was full of dark fruit, chocolate and tobacco. Tannins are big but well integrated and sufficient acidity to balance sweetness. Long finish. Should improve with further aging.
