November 16, 2023 - The fruit is still nice and juicy - pretty ripe fruit. Only 13% abv, so it has nice balance. Good acidity and fine tannins that do not dry out the palate at all. This is great now, if a bit simple, but may gain in complexity with more time in the bottle.

September 11, 2021 - Still incredibly primary in its presentation. A really lovely wine, but not the most complex at this point. Lots of life left.

May 10, 2020 - Just a beautiful burgundy. Consistent with prior review, but rated higher as it really stands out compared to other burgs I've been drinking.

March 29, 2020 - Dark dolor. Nose: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, dark plum, some earthiness developing. Takes a little time to open up. Mild to medium nose at this point. Strong, lovely acids. Low-medium tannins. Medium bodied. Nice, strong fruit flavors. Lovely wine!

January 1, 2020 - PNP. cork perfect. this shows some reduction on opening so decanted - then again - with that air it blew off. color dark ruby. nose has black raspberry and not much else. swishing this shows considerable structure with both acid and tannin, but the fruit is showing strongly. Sipping this shows this to be a big boned fruit laden wine but the alcohol is not big and the structure keeps this from seeming heavy in any way. this is very good wine.
