May 22, 2020 - Good intensity, not a fruit bomb. Slightly medicinal nose. Big, but balanced by acidity. Good midpalate but finishing shorter than the intensity suggested. Not very complex at this point.

February 26, 2019 - The medium+ intensity nose is meaty and earthy with blackberry and peppery spice aromas. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it has lovely aroma replays plus oak spice notes that are well-balanced with finely structured and polished tannins. Acids are balanced while the finish length is very good.
