July 4, 2022 - Clear ruby-garnet. This is very pretty from the get go - sour cherry, violets and roses, a but of tobacco and leather, especially out of the empty glass. Medium + body with balanced, integrated acidity (at 12.8% abv). I think this could go 5-10 more years, but it's in a nice place now.

May 2, 2022 - had this before the 2014 littorai platt. this was very good; but the platt was really the WOTN for me. this was on the simpler lighter side and less complex. def burgundian in style but not as good as the platt
