  April 18, 2023 - 55F since acquisition on release - Clear medium crimson - blackberry black cherry kirsch and dusty earth - light satin mouthfeel - soft background tannins and acids make this a gulpably good drink at present - my 3 remaining bottles will not see much more cellar time as I think the wine is at its apogee.

  February 4, 2022 - Au nez, une belle complexité avec du graphite et des fruits noirs. En bouche les tannins sont parfaitement intégrés soyeux avec une belle finale allongée.

  January 1, 2020 - For the money, there's plenty of potential behind a lot of oak that needs to integrate. Time will tell. Give this at least a couple more years.

  September 28, 2019 - Nose with dark fruits and morocco spices like cumin and caraway. Interesting nose. Black fruits, cassis, , leather taste. Medium length. Large bordeaux wine glass showed the wine the best. Interesting aromas and tastes in this wine. Like a mini Vega Sicilia Unico. Improved over 2 hours. Wish I had another bottle to try in 2 years.
