March 22, 2024 - 4 hour decant and drank over 2 days. Decant but a big one dimensional. Was hoping for more nuance.

April 10, 2023 - Coravined. Very deep dark magenta color. Dark raspberry, freesia, chocolate, and subtle herbal notes. Smooth, dry palate, with satiny acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.

January 28, 2022 - Slow ox for 2 hours and still coil tight. Double decanted for an hour and finally started to open up. I suspect this will continue to improve. Hold until 2025.

November 6, 2021 - First bottle of this and very good. Black fruit and touch of meat but giving a decent amount on the nose. Soft enough now but has some fine grain dry tannin. Plenty of fruit and acid with a relatively fresh finish. 3/4 cab Sav with Cab Franc, petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot making up the rest.
