  April 13, 2024 - Another year, but no change in score. This is my last bottle for this vintage and flavors and aromas were still active, in fact, probably another 4 years easily remaining in the bottle. Don't you hate drinking the last bottle and finding out that there was still time remaining?

  February 23, 2024 - This is concentrated, full-bodied, and quite round, a gracefully aging Syrah. A nose of brazed meats, dark fruit, and pepper. A mouth-coating midpalate features blueberries, cassis, tar and dark chocolate. There's a zesty orange citrus twist on the finish.

  February 5, 2024 - Very deep and dense color, almost black. Very light nose of spring flowers. On the palate this wine was definitely a bruiser. Shows cassis, black fruits, leather and plenty of acidity to balance the fruit. This could last for another five years at least.

  October 20, 2023 - I never really knew what people meant by barnyard funk. I do now though. Close your eye and breathe this wine in, and you are on an autumn hayride through the countryside. Or maybe cigar shopping in a walk-in humidor. Fruits are subtle on the palate. Finishes with unending menthol. A very unique wine in my experience.
