  February 18, 2024 - This seems unsettled yet, not well integrated. A promising core of fruit and spice *might* lurk in the center, but right now there is a watery overlay and bitter green stem elements that don't fuse with the rest.

  March 24, 2022 - Unusual with its distinct dark cherry fruit flavor. I would have guessed Tannat or Cunnoise, not zin. But I think this can age nicely: let it sit another year and try in 2023

  February 5, 2022 - Bold, juicy, spicy blueberry, blackberry, black currant, and vanilla aromas with some alcohol notes. Rich blueberry and blackberry flavors with a spicy, woody, green, stemmy, peppery finish. Maybe some faint chocolate notes too? Good tannic grip, well balanced, but a little alcoholic. Very enjoyable. Benefits a lot from decanting.
