    December 17, 2023 - Deep opaque purple
    Light fresh dark berries nose and flavors
    Soft, but adequate structure with some denser tannins in the finish.
    Nice pleasant stuff

    April 21, 2023 - Enjoyed at a family birthday party gathering and enjoyed with a variety of TexMex entrees. Short decant, but it would have been fine directly from the bottle. Whatever comments I made back in late 2021 relative to integration, development, or rough edges have now been resolved. Hitting on all cylinders: smooth, polished, and elegant with power lurking in the background. Has plenty of life ahead. Enjoy now or drink through 2035. Outstanding wine.

    August 16, 2022 - Concentrated black sour cherries, currants, licorice, oak spice. Full bodied with Med+ acidity and tannin. Could use more time but ready to go. Sort of like super Tuscan in style.
    Very good but not outstanding.
