March 3, 2024 - Similar notes as in 2020 with some improvement. Full bodied, Black cherry, blueberry, with well integrated round tannins.

February 18, 2024 - Black raspberry, black cherry, ripe plum, licorice and slight sweet tobacco. 1 hour decant. The '18's have settled down quite a bit in the last year, this was very good.

November 17, 2023 - Dark red cherry fruit, floral merged with darker purple Cabernet. Fairly complex. Needed 2 hour decant to start showing its core.

October 2, 2023 - Delicious juicy blackberry, cassis, oak, and spice on the nose and silky palate with refreshing tannins on the long finish.

September 2, 2023 - Four hour decant. Deep dark, vibrant magenta color. Blackberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate, prailine, and river rock. Smooth, dry palate, with a raspberry note sneaking in. Lower intensity tannins on the medium finish.
This would have been better with a one or two hour decant. It’s got a Bordeaux vibe that I’m not sure I love. I was also surprised by the relatively short finish.
