  February 4, 2023 - This was fine, but underwhelming to my taste. The flavor profile is solid but there was a bit of effervescence that I and others in the group found a bit offputting. This calmed down after a few hours so I would definitely favor opening for at least 2 hours before drinking and probably letting it breathe in a decanter for that entire time. Will update when we do that with our next bottle.

  December 4, 2022 - 2 hrs ox and served with spaghetti with meat sauce. Nose was not very pronounced, with soft fruits and maybe a light touch of lilac. Drinking well with lots of fresh berry fruits and maybe a bit of tea on the long finish. Well balanced for fruity acidity and smooth tannins. Trying the 2016 next and will compare.

  November 5, 2022 - Pine and underbrush aromas, sappy cherry fruit, earthy, with a spicy finish. Didn't decant but there was a decent amount of sediment in the glass.
