January 20, 2024 - Beautiful wine. Peak age in 2024. Likely to start going downhill soon but should have a few good years left. Nice acid. Balanced dark fruit. Good food wine. Paired with beef stew. Decanted 1 hour bit pro would do well with 20 or 30. Less than that and it was a bit soft and closed.

April 1, 2023 - A little sweet, but great Rhone flavors. Drinking well now, but will last for a while longer.
