  December 14, 2023 - Double decanted. Definitely better on night 2. Like others said, this is heavy on jammy berries and vanilla with some tobacco notes. Not too dissimilar from a Jamet style. But at times reminds me of a forgettable, inky Napa cab. Balanced and very tasty, but perhaps missing a bit of pop.

  June 15, 2023 - Slightly cloudy bright crimson color. Raspberry lemonade and strawberries on the nose. Refreshing blueberry on the attack followed quickly by intense raspberry with lemon in the finish. Quite tasty.

  March 23, 2023 - P&P, maybe should have decanted...it's a huge wine, full of fruit and a hint of alcohol heat. Blackberry, black cherry, woodsmoke, tar, and a bit of vanilla on the finish. Tannins and acidity are in harmony, if a little chunky at first (decant would likely smooth this out). Great wine from Maggie and team that is still developing...wish I had more! Drink now with air - 2034.

  January 24, 2023 - This thing is delicious, or going to be, but it's huge. Massive. The 13 is much softer and more approachable. This has it all but needs time.
  
  Day 2 : it's much better. Smoother and more complex and very enjoyable but it needs more time
