  September 30, 2023 - plummy --- fruity-plummy on the first two days and then drier, haut-medoc plummy the next two servings
  
  some complexity, but plumminess dominated
  
  I assumed all merlot and not particularly of a dry French treatment either, more some other country ... but then was v surprised, to put it mildly, that it is like half cab and has some CF thrown in with the merlot
  
  so nothing like every other bordeaux blend of those grapes, hmm
  
  also not much like other complex austere somewhat stony haut-medocs I have had
  
  others mention cocoa and herbaceousness below, and yes to both

  May 6, 2023 - Drunk over 3 hours. At first with Mike Neumeyer and Nanette at the Dana in San Diego. Pretty one-dimensional, one-trick pony type of wine, but solid and decent for the price. Has a bit of cocoa in evidence. 4-12-15-7: 88/100.

  March 28, 2023 - Red-fruited and juicy, with medium acidity. Modest dusty tannin along with an herbaceous element add interest. Nice wine.
