February 1, 2024 - Aroma of black fruit and vanilla. Rich pomegranate flavor with a bit of dry leaf and prune. Licorice in the lingering finish. Full bodied, young, weighty, firm backbone, complex.
Drank over the course of an evening. This started with a harsh edge but gradually smoothed out and mellowed. Drinking quite well now, but I expect those who wait will be well rewarded. -

August 17, 2023 - Pomegranate fruit, licorice and sour cherries with a lovely mineralic and bitter finish. Great definition and will-made wine with lots of personality.
