January 28, 2024 - This one needs time. Better on day 3 than day 1 or 2. If you open it now, air it for hours.
November 4, 2023 - WAY too young, but promising. Great nose. Give it 5-10 years
December 31, 2022 - Ha aparecido la madera, olvidarlo por 2-3 años
November 7, 2022 - Medium red color, medium transparency. Aromas of sweet plum, cherry, and raspberry. Palate has cherry/currant core of red fruit with vanilla, some floral elements, a bit of sweet tobacco leaf, and some plum in the medium finish. Pretty much what I was expecting. Drink now or hold for extended development experiment. Structure seems to support it.
November 4, 2022 - Fresh black fruit, seriously grippy tannins, mild leather on the nose. I think this will keep well for a while but is great now!
August 14, 2022 - Popped and poured. This is nice, drinkable already. Pretty, opaque blood-red. Clings to the glass. Fresh red fruit nose with some sawdust. Ripe, round and ready in the mouth, quite pretty to taste. Good value wine. Ready now, but plenty of stuffing to age, too. 5-12-17-8: 92/100.
March 19, 2022 - Tannins of steel, there's even some subtle metallic notes to accompany them. Fruit is reticent and so is the nose. Three days to finish this.
February 6, 2022 - Could use more age but showing well. Excellent value for price.
February 1, 2022 - Picked up three of this on the suggest of Michel Thibault wines. At $25 this offers great value. As another CT'er noted there is a toasted note that is a little bitter and hides the opulent plush fruit. Not sure if this gets worked out with time. I personally enjoyed this after a few days of slow ox in the bottle.

January 16, 2022 - Potential! But needs several years to come together. Lot's of power here. Ripe black fruit, oak and present alcohol sharpness. Try again in 2027.
