January 1, 2024 - Just ok. Disappointing as I hoped this would offer more flavor. Actually kind of bland

December 28, 2023 - Consistent with prior note, although this bottle was a bit less luscious and complex than the first. PnP for the first glass, followed by a decant. Not as much evolution from the time in the decanter this time. I actually think it would have benefited from being served a touch cooler than room temperature. Still a great value at $35 for Bordeaux fruit that is drinking now.

December 26, 2023 - PNP. Very very deep magenta color. Prailine, blueberry, and tea leaves. Dry palate. Soft tannins on the medium finish. Slightly better than my last bottle. Did the job for Christmas dinner, with family that has very little wine interest/knowledge.

December 23, 2023 - Voluptuous, patisseresque and noiresque with currant preserves on toast and patisserie with buttercream. A straightforward, delicious, big red.

December 21, 2023 - Dekantert. Best dag 1, men ikke store innvendinger dag 2. Balanse og behag.
