June 5, 2023 - Fragrant nose with red fruit, spices, licorice, and a bit of noticeable heat. Good acidity with quite ripe flavors of strawberries, cherries, old leather, and underwood on the palate. Pretty long finish. Although this is not really my style of wine, it was very well made and interesting to taste!

June 27, 2021 - Assumed I had waited too long but this was specatacular. And it’s got at least 2 or 3 years left. Better than the 08 and maybe a tad better than 07.
