December 30, 2023 - Birthday wine, brought to Paradisea in La Jolla.
Decanted for an hour, back in bottle for 2 hours, decanted again at table. She was singing from the first sip, and still going strong at the last one.
For my palate, this is IT. Absolutely love this wine.
This has the stuffing to improve over the next several years so no rush to pop the corks.

March 3, 2023 - Stunning wine. Ripe, dark fruit, hints of blueberry and mild earth, tannins already softening so that with a little decanting time it's just a velvety, long finish. Can see this aging well for some time but lovely already.

December 31, 2022 - This wine needs hours of decanting. Decanted for 2 hours. Then drank over 3 more. Still wasn't ready. A really good elegant wine though. Tons of fruit on the pallet. Cheers

December 20, 2022 - 2 hour double decant. Just now entering its prime drinking window. Tannins still slightly grippy, plenty of primary notes.

November 18, 2022 - Dinner with friends at my compound...
PnP. Surprisingly approachable, this wine was singing nicely right off the bat. WOTN for the reds, besting the 18 Detert CS, 16 Purlieu Teucer, and 19 Sea Smoke Ten. Notes of dark blackberries, and a bit of toasty wood. On the palate, there was some weight there that was very welcomed and finished very nicely with some length. Last bottle and unfortunately, I decided to seek other wines in its price point.
