February 13, 2024 - Delicious. Has improved over the last 7 months. The nose is still incredibly dense and pungent of blue and black berries.
Palate is silky smooth now. Feels like it's entering its prime drinking window with years ahead of it. Tannins are perfect. Acid is perfect. An unctuous delight with steak. Cheers!1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 25, 2023 - Very good wine. I decanted it two hours but it really needed 3-4 hours. Was at its peak at the end of dinner.

July 19, 2023 - Very good. Nose is exceptional. Blue and dark fruits. The palate is a bit unbalanced. Heavy tannin and acidity with mild fruit similar to the nose. Feels like it needs another 2-3 years. Cheers!

July 3, 2023 - Blue and black berries, fruit-forward but not over the top. Tobacco leaf and herbal backbone. Long herbal and black fruit finish. In a nice spot; seems meant to drink now
