  April 10, 2024 - Opened last night. Opened last night, finished today. Very dark color, and viscous, throwing a fine sediment. Attractive nose of red fruit, minerals, and iron. Lots to like here, and seems like it could continue on, and perhaps even improve, for many years, as firm tannin is still in place. 5-13-16-8: 92/100.

  November 4, 2023 - 25th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Lyon Down Inn): Nice mix of red and black fruit supported by iron/mineral and herbal notes. Structure more obvious on day 2 =92pts.

  September 15, 2023 - Really excellent, and tremendous value for the $50 price point. Rich, layered, deep, wonderful balance of fruit - principally blackberry and plum but hints of raspberry, black cherry, and bramble - balanced with mouthcoating tannins and just enough acidity. Secondary notes of tar, pepper, and maybe green olive, but mostly just a remarkably balanced and delicious red blend with layers and layers of depth. Gave it a 2 hour decant, and it was still opening and evolving in the glass.
