January 21, 2024 - This has really evolved over the past year. Silky palate and great aromatics of burly dark fruits that come to the fore after about an hour in the glass. Beautiful wine.

February 15, 2023 - The wine has evolved in the last year. Really nice balance of spice and concentrated, but not ripe fruit.
Edit: day 2 is a noticeable improvement. 92 on day 1, 94 day 21 person found this helpful Comment -

January 13, 2023 - Beautiful rendition of Kimsey, with a lovely note of rose petals on the nose. Drinks well now but will benefit from a couple of years as usual (92-93).
