September 20, 2023 - Ruby color with medium legs. Oak, spice and mixed berry on the nose. Plum, tobacco and leather on the palate. Medium smooth finish with a little acidity.

February 10, 2023 - This was “fine”. It didn’t blow us away as we had expected for a bottle we aged, and that should have aged ok until now. Very light in flavor. Last sips started to get dry after it had been opened for 2 hours. Probably could have used more decanting time. Opened at a French restaurant and paired with pork and short ribs.

January 8, 2023 - Fresh. Red berries and plums. Tobacco and hints of leather. Soft tannins at this stage but not flabby at all.

November 16, 2021 - Still young but after a couple of days an improved presentation was experienced. Early on was big but unstructured. Later days displayed complexity and desired evolution.

April 16, 2021 - Meh. Had a glass in a bar, so take that with a grain of salt (was in SLC). Almost no nose. High acidity muted ruby color, long legs. No fruit taste left. Could be oxidized in bar, but rather blah
