August 30, 2023 - Luscious! This is continuing to gain depth and complexity. Consistent with my previous note. Plenty of life left. Full bodied, long finish. Nice acidity. 1.5 hour decant.

February 22, 2019 - Great flavors of blackberry, cherry and chocolate. Good balance. Tannins resolved for the most part. Clean fruit and smooth finish. Drinking well, and should cellar well, but clearly in its window.

January 21, 2018 - Nice aroma of cherry and oak. A mix of dark and red fruit flavors - cherry, raspberry, blueberry - plus vanilla and some cocoa. Flavorful.
Just ordered more. Decant over 1 hour as of Jan 2018. -

December 9, 2017 - Dark fruit balanced nicely with acidity/brightness. Touch of tannins that gives it complexity. Really good

October 29, 2017 - Deep, dark color reflects the intense plum and blackberry notes of this delicious wine. Rich in texture and supple in the mouth. Loving this wine.
