April 3, 2024 - Super interesting. Lotsa micro-sediment. A little red fruit sweetness. A little sumpin sumpin going on that makes it luscious. I’ll pick up another if I see it

January 30, 2024 - for fans of the style. I find the juxtaposition of meaty syrah funk with a saccharine high alcohol palate untasty, but there's nothing "wrong" with the wine. not sure I'd say there's much acidity to speak of

January 15, 2024 - Fabulous. Still developing. Herbaceous, floral, nice acidity. Very complex. Drinking nicely right now, but this will go the distance. Bummed it’s my last bottle.
