October 20, 2023 - Coravin Friday after my IN meeting; nose is not amazing; slightly flat with raw berries that don't seem dynamic; finish is shortish. Not overwhelmed.

October 2, 2022 - Opened and tasted every 5 min or so during the first 45 min. It felt light in bidy and height in acidity and alcohol without much going on. At that moment I double decanted it and it gained in body and complexity but never filled expectations.

May 29, 2022 - 醒酒器两个小时，深宝石红色，闻香有植物、人参混合着石墨的气息，香草味和一些香料感，入口酸度中高，很明亮的感觉，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻如粉，人参，杨梅，伴随着石墨和烤面包的香气，酒液粘稠，余味香草奶油。充分的陈年发展，香气复杂多变，果香依然漂亮，给人活泼而又成熟的感觉，处在适饮巅峰期的酒，口感非常平衡。

May 23, 2022 - Slow ox’ed at restaurant while we enjoyed apps and 2013 Roederer L ‘Ermitage. I really like this style on Sonoma/Napa wine; very Bordeaux, very balanced fruit, acid and tannins, nothing stellar, nothing that sticks out, just very high quality-made wine.
