April 27, 2023 - Intense blueberry. White pepper. Violets. Slightly closed compared to a year ago. I bought four of these and have now drunk three. I will try and save the last bottle until the 2030s, but I don't know if I have the discipline.

December 30, 2022 - This bottle is consistently a solid performer, and this vintage is no different. Still very young, but shows nice depth of fruit, smoked meat and olives.

November 24, 2022 - Great bouquet. Little bit of spice. Olive detected. Drank for Thanksgiving. Probably a bit young.

October 6, 2022 - Absolutely love the beautiful nose of bacon, violets, olives, pepper, crushed berries, and lavender. However, it was muted and overtly stern on the palate this time. Didn't give anywhere close to as much as it did on release.
Gonna hold off on the rest.2 people found this helpful Comments (2)
