January 12, 2024 - PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby with no edge browning and just very slight edge clouding. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of black cherry, tea, cola, baking spice, and brown sugar. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium tannins are a bit grippy but yet soft, medium+ intensity, medium+ body, 14.5% abv with flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry, baking spice, and cola with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Excellent
Length: Excellent
Intensity: Excellent
Complexity: Excellent
This is likely at its best right now, hitting on all cylinders. Can drink now or over next 2-4 years.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 25, 2023 - Drink up - this one seemed to be fading, losing some of it fruit and richness.

November 15, 2023 - Still drinking well, notes of strawberry and cherry, excellent balance with well integrated tannins. Paired with salmon quiche.

September 2, 2023 - Solid effort, not as extracted as some other KBs. More to the elegant side of the spectrum, bright red fruit, cherry cola of course. Paired with savory lamb shoulder. A crowd pleaser, two plus hour decant.
