March 29, 2024 - Minimal sediment.
Tight at first but mellowed quickly to be very balanced and midway between youth and full maturity.
Good now. -

April 16, 2022 - Dense luscious and full of ripe Cherry with hint of Earth. Ripe Tannins with hint of chewy in a good way. Finish is long and oh so smooth with a hint of pepper, just a beautiful wine
