March 10, 2023 - This wine is getting better Earth driven with great fruit, balanced and elegant with nice depth. Excellent with lasagna

February 26, 2023 - Very good but more youthful and restrained than previous bottles. It takes some coaxing in the glass to get much on the nose. Still a solid wine. Decanted for 30 minutes.

February 18, 2023 - Lots of cherry, leather, bramble, touch of thyme. I’d hold another 5 years.
