February 10, 2020 - A bit brambly and stemmy upon open. Needed some air and much more time in the bottle.

January 17, 2020 - Wine is flawed...brown/brick color. One side of cork looks moldy.

October 4, 2019 - Medium ruby color, medium body. Decanted, and enjoyed with a salmon salad. It took about 30 minutes for this to begin to open. Quite an enticing, aromatic, and complex nose displaying aromas of red florals, spicy raspberry, dried cherry, leather, tobacco, mushroom, and scorched piney forest floor. Unfortunately, the corresponding flavor profile comes across as being somewhat thin, austere, and acidic. Great aromatics and structure, just not much satisfying flavor or a memorable finish.
