  November 30, 2022 - Pnp. Medium crimson-garnet in colour. Nose of dusty blackberries, red cherry skins, and some violets. On the palate, black cherries, black peppers, and a hint of black tea with a touch of spices and espresso; tannins make their appearance. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish.

It is so juicy, vibrant with little acidity, red fruit predominant. So easy to drink. However that only lasts for 20 or so minutes. It shuts down after that and becomes a different animal. The fatness and Parker like low acidity, give way to increasing tannins, red fruits change to black fruits. This morphing tricks my palate into believing there is more acidity as well. The mouthfeel is where it starts. On the swish you know something special is in store. Black fruits, black licorice, tar, smoke and espresso sail on and on. The depth and concentration and finish is

  September 5, 2021 - Drank over 3 nights, better every night. Fruit, acid and decent tannin. Should keep but a drinkable big wine now.
