October 12, 2019 - PNP into tasting glass (“Leaf” day): Pale garnet with slightly bricking rims, some deposits.
Very nicely typical cabernet franc nose with slight green bell peppers, savoury chunky red cherry fruits.
Fine tannins. Very enjoyable upon time in glass.
93-94 points. -

March 1, 2019 - Tooch Going Away Dinner (TDS): Wow, super expressive, intense and layered aromatics of bright red berries with leafy tobacco and bell pepper. The palate is very smooth with lively acids and almost plush, juicy red fruit. Seamless and integrated. A wow wine.

March 1, 2019 - A farewell to Tooch (Chicago, IL): I think overall others at the table liked this more than I did. The nose on this was stunning. Yes, there were the classic notes of green peppers, but there's also a really lovely ripe red fruit aroma that goes along with it. The nose is intense and perfumed, and it's quite powerful too. The palate is weaker than that explosive nose; while it has many of the same elements (the pyrazine, the red fruit, etc.) the concentration doesn't really feel like it's there. Think of this like a watercolour painting, where all the elements are there and the colours are varied, but overall there's a subdued impression.
