December 27, 2023 - Last bottle. Tannins resolved and smooth with restrained fruit. Cassis, dried cherries, long finish. Peaking? But enough structure and strength to go a few more years.

December 21, 2023 - Magnum. Opened and decanted about two hours before serving. Served to a group of 8 for dinner with grilled vacio. Paired very nicely. The decanting helped round out the wine. This was a really nice "crowd pleaser", not super complex but with enough inherent sweetness and depth that everyone liked it, in a group that is mostly wine novices. I very much enjoyed it myself. Good QPR for folks that enjoy good wine but might not appreciate more expensive bottles. Medium body and mouthfeel, soft tannins.

April 1, 2023 - Blackberry, white pepper and some tobacco on the palate. Dark indigo color, full bodied and medium legs. still a bit tannic so the drinking window on this is just opening. About 90 minutes of air and this softens nicely.
