  October 29, 2021 - Reading the notes, I'm surprised at how wonderful this was.
  Nose > palate, with lost of earth, sourdough, butter and some smoke, along with cherry and plum. P was a little thinner than expected, but drinks well ongoing. Tannins still present, but clearly in the background. Med+ length and complexity. Drinking well now.

  Brawny, firm tannins, red acidity, and fruit in proportion.
  
  Hold off for 12 months

  June 9, 2017 - Great blend. Red nose, medium body, and medium finish that turns slightly buttery.

  February 10, 2017 - Over a year since last tasting; the time in bottle has made a huge difference. Tannins have turned dusty, cab f elements now more assertive - nice work
