  February 5, 2024 - I drank a Magnum yesterday, which is probably the best way to try it at this age. Fully mature, hints of bandaid that ride on the cusp of intrusive, but finally overcome by the sleeping fruit in the second half and definitely at the bottom of the mag. An earthy, complex wine that is the best it can be. Threw some good punches on exit...Drink!

  February 19, 2023 - This is in a lovely mature spot right now, fragrant woods on the nose, forest floor and mushroom flavours in the mouth. Fully integrated fruit, but it seems to have a lot of time left.

  January 30, 2022 - Lovely bright purple color, subtle blue and cherry fruit on the nose. Excellent structure and balance, silky tannins and pleasant fruit, with a long finish. Served with a mushroom and chicken stew, it was most excellent.

  August 23, 2021 - Vinturied into decant and consumed over several hours,
  Surprisingly youthful, powerful nose with anise and leather, smoke, easing tension but still slightly taunt.
  I will open my next one in 2025.
  Should be spot on then…still very interesting and enjoyable to drink now.
  Not sure how I ended up with 3 of these, but hey..
