June 29, 2023 - Very floral and lifted on the nose. Dark candied blue toned fruits and olive tapenade. Dark and pure palate with great tension.

September 20, 2022 - This is dynamite to drink right now - highly recommended. Tannic as hell and sweet, which might sound like I'm describing something that should be left alone but NO! It's terrific stuff, more going on that Chave's St Joseph (which I also adored). Glorious aromas, too - hypnotic and deep. Buy without hesitation. Will probably age, but I don't care - it's great right now.
