  March 27, 2024 - Four hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black currant, pressed violets, plum, raspberry, bay leaf, cinnamon scone, and baker’s chocolate malt. Smooth and very dry palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
  
  There’s a bite (sharpness) to the fruit that’s a bit of a turnoff. There wasn’t much change between two and four hours. We’ll see how this evolves, but I’m not sure my score will increase from here. This needs a 6+ hour decant if drinking now.

  March 26, 2024 - 3 hour double decant. Carol had a glass at Barry/Mary's before dinner then back under stopper to the restaurant.
  
  Dark magenta in the glass. Nose of graphite, a little earthy, brambly components and red/black berries.
  
  Palate is powerful and dark fruited. With more air this one takes on a silky smooth velour like texture in the mouth. The fruit is so 'shiny' and deep. Excellent balance to this wine at this stage. Wonderful Ehrlich fruit profile with just a tad of the typical Ehrlich nose. The mouthfeel and palate is where this score is tonight, but you gotta give it the needed air!!! Enjoyed over a total of about 4-5 hours of airtime.

  August 17, 2023 - Three hour decant. Very deep dark ruby magenta color. Black cherry compote, raspberry, lime rind, mocha, and subtle graphite. Very smooth, dry, full bodied palate, with mouth filling acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
  
  This has rich, intense fruit, but is also drinking a touch tight at the moment. A 6+ hour decant is recommended if drinking this year. I expect this will loosen up nicely next year.
