January 5, 2024 - Agree with the other notes. I'd add that it's quite full, round, juicy, just bordering on jammy in the mid-palate. I'd like to give it more time.

May 29, 2023 - no notes taken but remembered as a beautiful light yet complex and deep wine with great potential in 5-8 years.

April 23, 2023 - Seductive nose of cherry, tar, raspberry, plum, rosemary, and crushed rose petals. Silky on the palate despite the firm ripe tannins. There is a decent whack of warm alcohol, but everything is so beautifully integrated. Long, sweet finish. Gorgeous now but more to come.

September 29, 2022 - Relatively tight and unyielding at first. begins to crack open, showing a hint of tart cherry and ironstone. With more air there are florals and the fruit intensifies at the wine's core and sweetens up. It is well-balanced and intense, finishing with bright acidity and some tannic chew. Very good but too young.
