  August 26, 2023 - Big nose of dark fruits that faded in the glass. Black berries, dark cherries with a bit of tartness -a long lingering finish with brisk tannins that linger. A great wine - I better like it - I have 6 more of them

  June 17, 2023 - Really good with loads of fruit, but not all heavy or overdone. Black and blue fruit end of the spectrum mixed with well defined tannin and wood make this a great wine to consume with decanting. Really enjoyed it.

  April 25, 2023 - Slow ox'd with the cork removed at room temp for 3 hours, cork back in and back into the cellar for 2 hours to chill prior to pouring for our event. Deep opaque garnet in the glass. Notable nose of vanilla, Chinese five spice, rose petals it fills out more coming to room temp over an hour in the glass. A nose reminiscent of a Hundred Acre barrel treatment, if that makes sense. Chewy red fruit with med+ tannins, an overall sweet note to the fruit with 14.9% alc slightly noted. The weight in the glass was surprisingly a touch on the lighter side and noted by all of us, I think. WOTN, for me and very enjoyable, but not sure that I'd buy more at this price point now.

  April 14, 2023 - Time has been very good to this wine. Previously needed a decant. Tonight, PnP and showing well immediately. Deep, dense, blue and black fruit, anise, spice, eucalyptus with a touch of pencil shavings on the nose. Similar flavors with a full body, more blue and black fruits, anise, spice pencil shavings. Silky smooth with smooth tannins in a long finish. Amazingly good now, but still has a huge upside in waiting a few more years. No hurry to open my last few bottles.
