  May 1, 2024 - A: med ruby
  N: iron, crunch raspberry, red currant, spice, light herbal quality, somewhat ethereal
  P: dry, med (+) acidity, med (+) fine grain smooth tannins, med body
  C: very good wine = needed 3 hours to open (first nose was not good), balanced just ripe fruit and bright acidity, med (+) intensity, med concentration med (+) complexity, long finish. Hold - needs time to evolve before being ready for PNP - maybe 5 years and then hold for another 10. Really nice wine once it opened, just took loads of time.

  January 20, 2024 - This wine needs a lot of air and time to open up. I suggest double decanting it followed by pulling a vacuum on the bottle with a Vacuvin stopper and some hours of rest. Something like this rewarded us with excellent, but otherwise hidden fruit and complexity. Otherwise this is an enigma--a wine with high critical scores and no substance or complexity.

  Med red. Dark red fruit. Brooding. Hint of graphite or iodine. Palate is which. Soft ripe tannins although lots of structure and acid.

  November 11, 2023 - Medium ruby, 12.5% alc., weak varietal character, faint pinot fruit, slight mineral earthy notes, no sediment, somewhat bland, low acidity, OK with mild dishes, faded more second night. recommend drinking it up now.

  October 20, 2023 - Not overly complex. Some menthol in the nose and a nice and very clear and distinct raspberry in the taste, surely no strawberry!
  Nice but no more. Defiant no rebuy.
