January 31, 2023 - PnP. Still a bit tight on opening, but starts to open with 30 minutes in the glass. Still a youthful purple color. Ripe dark fruit, blackberry and dark plums, herbs, dark chocolate and cocoa. Big and rich, with dusty tannins and nice minerality in the finish. Medium acidity. Definitely a big wine but hides it's 14.5% alcohol well. Great value. I have one bottle left and there doesn't seem to be any rush on opening it. No reason why this can't age for 10 years from the vintage.

November 21, 2021 - Rich and supple, dark concentrated fruit 14.5% alcohol, dark chocolate and dark cherry, slight dusty tannins, clean balance and chocolate linger. Truly lovely.
