April 14, 2024 - Notes very consistent with previous bottle, though tannins have smoothed out quite nicely. More silky finish than prior bottles

March 1, 2024 - From magnum. No detailed notes but the tannins were still quite chunky and need time to smooth out even after an hour long decant. Would definitely recommend aging longer but there's not as much fruit as expected and I'm not sure how much fun it will be once the tannins are ready. Mildly disappointing as I was hoping for more.

February 3, 2024 - Clear medium ruby with a hint of garnet; clean medium plus nose of red currant, chalk, wood and cassis; dry; high acidity; medium plus to high tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of black licorice, cocoa and cinnamon; long finish; drinking well but will be even better in a few more years; powerful and balanced - alcohol does not dominate

December 1, 2023 - This is in a great place now. Classic Cabernet nose of cassis, bell pepper. Medium to full bodied, cocoa, dark fruit, tobacco and spice in the mouth. Long finish and mouth coating tannins. Very well balanced. Outstanding.
