December 30, 2023 - This bottle was slightly cork tainted. It was enough of a background note that made it hard to evaluate. Hope my second bottle is clean.

July 1, 2023 - Deer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): I specifically bought this bottle for this occasion and it didn’t disappoint. Floral perfumed nose, black raspberry (is that a real thing?) fruit, a big spicy personality. We only gave it a 1 hr decant but I thought would show better with a few more hours. I have 2 more to age in the cellar for another year or two.

July 1, 2023 - One hour decant. Deep dark purplish magenta color. Blackberry, chocolate, and Chinese five spice. Dry, satiny, chalky palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
This was much better than I’m making it sound. It really would benefit from a 3-4 hour decant. Great ending wine to a fun wine weekend in Deer Valley. Decanting Queen supplied this beauty, which was tied for WOTN.2 people found this helpful Comments (5) -

February 10, 2023 - Double decanted for 1:15h and consumed from 6:20-9pm at MesaMar.
The nose is perfumed milky and strong, big body, high in acidity and tannins, very dark notes, cocoa and expresso, very long finish… the wine got better towards the end of the night.
Drink or hold but the best days are yet to come…
