November 19, 2023 - This was good but not as expressive as some of Larry's wines. Lots of strawberry, hints of flowers, definite impressions of the stemmy foot stomping and fermentation. In the moments where it was most expressive it was captivating and the rest of the time it was enjoyable and fun.

July 27, 2023 - I'll support the other reviews here and also include Larry's sentiments from the back of the bottle - I could sniff this for hours! The palate is no letdown, either. Silky smooth and luscious, with fruit that has plenty of endurance into the finish. The grace and complexity of age are setting in, but I think this still has upward momentum and wish I had more. I will need to increase my spend on future releases.

June 9, 2023 - Not decanted, two glasses consumed at cool room temp over 60-90 minutes. I'm pretty much on board with ChateauShiny's note from April, although I'd note that this started out decently enough but got distinctly better as it went - I'd recommend giving this at least an hour of air if consuming in the near future.

April 28, 2023 - Nose of dark cherries, ripe strawberries, leather, dusty baking spices, and a dash of black pepper. Medium-light bodied, crunchy acidity, and very well balanced. Palate follows the nose. Smooth and light tannin profile. Medium length, sweet strawberry, leather and dark mineral finish.
