  November 11, 2023 - A bit of a bruiser. Way too alcoholic for me. Strawberries, and then a ton of alcohol. Assume this was better when younger?

  June 5, 2022 - This wine has definitely changed, or at least in this bottle. Alcohol prominent with heat on the forefront. No longer a big fruit bomb as it was a few years ago, but the bottle was all heat.

  February 13, 2021 - The wine is in a different place than when I first tasted more than two and a half years ago. It has gone from a fruit bomb to a more subtle wine and I like it. More herbaceous qualities and some minerality to go with the lighter blue fruits. Almost flowery now. WS score of 88 is way wrong to me. Wish I had more of these.
