July 29, 2023 - I like that this is leaning dark, shrubby, and tannic; not immediately delightful, but worth a little time to savour and appreciate the structure and texture.

February 1, 2021 - This has a bit of a natural wine vibe (in a good way)
Aromas of crunchy black fruits (black cherry and black plum), some reductive notes, some violet, and something herbal (dried sage or thyme). Dry subtle roasted black fruits. Overall - a floral and reductive and herbal nose; this wine is the opposite of an overripe fruit bomb
The palate confirms the nose, but adds some sweet tobacco notes that nevertheless makes the wine quite savoury rather than sweet or fruity
Medium- body
Medium- tannins
Juicy acids
The length was excellent
This wine is best drunk young -

January 20, 2020 - Has a great nose of ripe red fruit. Raspberry, cherry, slightly leafy/ vegetle..This wine is even more exciting on the palate than the nose, mouth coating body without a lot of tannins, yet acidity which is high remains in a nice balance. Excellent length.
