  June 19, 2020 - Covid Cassoulet (Robin Stark's, Cardiff-by-the-Sea): Nicely complex nose showing secondary characters now. Dense and young on the palate still. Darkly fruited. Evidently this is not just Tannat but that with three other grapes including Cab S. Almost tight. Light tannin. This clearly still has miles to go. Good now. Terrific balance with the acidity leaving a mark. Cool bonus bottle.

  December 6, 2019 - In its drinking window, rich but with bright fruit, not really brooding, more warm and inviting. Good wine with winter fare. Decanted half a bottle the first night and uncorked the coravined remainder a couple nights later and gave it some air.

  June 24, 2019 - Still very tannic, needed to breathe. But quite good nevertheless

  September 13, 2018 - P&P, big dark fruits on the nose, fairly flabby on the palate w/ chalky tannins. After an hour the dark fruits started to show a bit more with some peppery spice notes. Short finish. Good for $20 but give it some air and bring it up to room temp first.
