February 26, 2024 - Dark with crimson highlights. Cedar, cassis, and spice nose. Medium to full bodied, dirty cherries, baking spices, pepper, well integrated tannins, good acid, and a nice long finish. Maybe not the best vintage of this, but still very good.

June 12, 2022 - With a tannic structure and a nice tension between earthy and fruity elements, this has a Bordeaux-like personality. It's structured and sumptuous and delivers plush dark fruit, red currants, tobacco, and a hint of must. Smooth, balanced, and nicely polished. Excellent with a long decant.

April 16, 2020 - POP tannins and deep dark fruit, up front acidity that's covered up by the inky mid palette. I think the petite Verdot's 10% is a strong 10%. Really a very well balanced mix of grapes here. Aerated and acidity came out dominant, but not dominating still nice and balanced. But the acidity shines now I just raised the score by two.
