November 5, 2023 - Somewhar restrained at the moment. Nose with hints of cherry, dominated by wood. Still tannic and quite rustic on the palate, with limited volume and fruit. I might need to give it more air next time.

December 16, 2022 - This wine made a nice move up to tertiary territory. Stil good punching red fruits but complemented with forest floor, tobacco, warm spices and sandelwood. Well balanced now with good acidity to keep it fresh.
Decant for a small 30 min. -

Consistent with previous note. Nice fruit with complexity and finish. In a great place. Could go another 10 years.1 person found this helpful Comment
