March 29, 2024 - Lively aromas, deeply colored. Bright cassis, blackberry, pepper, sour berry, mineral. Med-full. Long rich finish. Very enjoyable

December 3, 2022 - Another great showing. Paired with braised short ribs and polenta. Wish I had bought a case. Drink now with brief decant or hold for another 4-6 years.

April 16, 2022 - Bright red fruit, good balance. Not much secondary, but hints of wet forest, spice. Interesting and robust. Medium acidity and tannins. Great value.

September 13, 2021 - Continues to overdeliver for the price. Walks right up to the line of being overwhelmed by oak, so a good hour or two of decant helps blow that off. Serving temp would also be important. Room temp pop n pour would probably kill its performance.

August 11, 2021 - This over-delivered for the price ($28). Best on day-2 and no doubt this improves over the next 2-3 years. If drinking now give it some time in the decanter.
