    November 3, 2023 - This one was a big hit at a restaurant at dinner. It is in a great drink window right now and lives up to the Pro ratings. Classic CNdP.

    October 16, 2023 - Seems to have entered its drinking window. Needed to open for about 30 minutes to be ripe.

    September 2, 2023 - Needs a 6 hour decant at this point. Perfume of smoke and medicinal aromas. Taste of black pepper, bell pepper, dark fruits, leather, and a little licorice. Very earthy. Great with steak, BBQ, and bleu cheese.

    August 15, 2023 - Had it with a lovely, fatty chistorras and the match was superb. After a couple of hours it was good without as well. Today, 94 with food and after a couple of hours. Hold or air it.
