December 31, 2023 - Shallow nose, somewhat fruity. Very tight first sip (hard to discern notes of anything), but opened up nicely after about an hour and a half.

December 20, 2023 - Medium bodied. Coming along nicely. Decanted about an hour. A crowd pleaser.

July 16, 2023 - 7% cab franc in this blend, and you feel it
deeper mouth feel to nearby vintages, wetter weather made the vines open longer
Shallow nose, hints of cigar -

June 23, 2023 - Very tight upon opening, decanted about an hour and a half and it started to catch it's stride. An extremely nice and balanced wine, our groups favourite for the evening, happy to have more in the cellar. Can't wait to see how this already great wine evolves over the next ten years.

August 14, 2022 - On the nose, it is very nice, dark fruits, herbal, pleasant. On the palate, the alc is aggressive from the first sip. After second and third visits, alc was a little more manageable but still pale in comparison to the other wines.
