March 25, 2024 - Good red/blue fruit. Nice minerality and hint of acidity. Bit early for secondary notes to have developed but enjoyable.

February 29, 2024 - Showed good typicity even though it was a little polished. Ripe but not jammy violet and blueberry fruit. Some olives and savoury notes but was hidden behind the clean, fruit-forward nature of the wine.

December 17, 2023 - Balanced, not too fruity, notable finish but not remarkable. I would try again.

December 2, 2023 - Decanted. Deep, dark-garnet color, brightly toned. Expressive aromatics showing red plum & cherry, with paprika and curry spices, black pepper, mesquite char, fresh lavender and iron. Dense and muscular as it opens on the palate, with cool-toned and intense raspberry and plum fruit accented with bay leaf, pressed florals and spices. Medium to full through the middle, refined in structure, with well-integrated acidity and round, firm tannins, finishing long with zesty red & black fruit and stone mineral notes. Very nice.
