March 17, 2024 - A bit acidic and maybe even starting to turn. Was good but not great.

October 1, 2023 - Much better improved over the prior bottle. Sweet black cherry, coffee, and some wordiness. Grainy tannins but higher acidity could add balance.

December 11, 2022 - Might be in a dumb phase currently, but not very good nor expressive over three days. Paired with fudge brownies and vanilla ice cream. Aromas are closed down and the flavors were sweet but simplistic at best. Structure is lurking. Decanting didn’t help. Hopefully this will improve given additional bottle time, right now it’s a pass.

December 18, 2021 - Usual good ruby port. Rich with just right sweetness.
