October 6, 2022 - Consistent with past notes, maturing nicely. I did notice some heat on the tail this time, but it was not a major distraction or detriment to the wine. Best with food, so drink 2022-2026. Technical score:92. Enjoyment score: 92.

August 18, 2021 - Popped and poured. Core of black cherry, slightly floral, sweet baking spice notes a bit of forest floor. Mostly fruit driven on the palate with a hint of cherry cola coming through. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel. Upside for development here.

July 20, 2021 - Consistent with previous notes back in February. Drinking nicely at the moment. Intense floral cherry blossoms and cherry hard candy on the nose. Deeper black fruit notes including rhubarb and blueberry on the palate flow into a mineral-driven yet slightly sweet finish. Drink 2021-2024. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.
