February 9, 2023 - It is soft with cherry and leather notes on the nose. It has strong acidity and soft tannins with graphite and soft fruit on the palate.

December 4, 2022 - Soft and elegant wine, 100% Merlot. Long finish with notes of dark cherries, chocolate and burnt toast, maybe some vanilla as well. Had a voluptuous mouth feel with no heat and well folded/smoothed tannins.
Could go a long way still.1 person found this helpful Comment
