  March 9, 2024 - Very similar to the bottle I opened in Dec. 2022. I opened the bottle three hours in advance of going out to dinner. Red and black fruit on the nose with hints of chocolate. The palate is blackberry, dark red cherry, plum, pipe tobacco and a little chocolate which leads to a moderately long finish.

  February 24, 2024 - Open over dinner with friends.
  
  For the price paid this was a nice bottle of wine. Still some sweet fruit left in plum. Not sure the percentage blend but I'm thinking a good amount of merlot.

  November 21, 2017 - Popped and poured. Really showing its merlot right now with rich aromas of plum, mocha, and black cherry. On the palate, rich with black cherry, plum, mocha, and spice. Long balanced finish with plenty of grip. I would hold these for 5+ There seems to be a lot of upside here.

  October 1, 2017 - Has improved in last 6 months and is maturing beautifully. Now will hold on for awhile to see if the wine matures further. Very good
