April 7, 2024 - Way too young to drink now, on my standard. But enormous potential.

March 23, 2024 - This very good! Nice pencil lead and tobacco accents to go with the gorgeous dark cherries abound here! Soft tannins after not even an hour decant. Great structure and smooth soft finish. Power and finesse here. Enjoy! Very enjoyable now while its alive and kicking!

December 17, 2023 - Decanted an hour, drank over 4 hours.
Nose - blackcurrants, cassis, black cherry, tobacco, whiff of leather
Palate - black fruits, silky tannins, moderate long finish
Overall impression is that this is definitely still slightly too young and will benefit from a few more years in bottle, but a nonetheless lovely bottle to drink if you cannot resist opening one. -

November 23, 2023 - Smoke a cigar in a flower store and surround yourself with a bushel of currants and red plums and you get the idea of the aromatics here. The wine is elegant, soft, silky, refined, and vibrant, with sweetness and purity to the red berries and spice in the finish. Drink from 2023-2040.

January 29, 2023 - Wound up very tight. Second day, still very tannic, giving nothing. No amount of aeration helps. Hold for 5+ years
