May 7, 2023 - 2 years in the cellar has helped this a bit.

May 7, 2023 - Lovely and ready to drink. Dark fruit, cedar and forest floor. Balanced with integrated tannins. Opened up nicely with the Vinturi.

October 27, 2021 - A year since last tasted, this has become more floral and lighter. Heavy Rhone funk upon first opening, a two-hour decant transitioned this to more rose petals with apricots and blackberries on the palate. This bottle didn’t seem true to its varietal. But still delicious. Worth Seeking Out.

June 10, 2021 - Gorgeous sera showing tart cherry, mocha, and spice on the nose and delivering a pallet with beautiful complexity and weighty mouth feelWhich flavors of black cherry, space all lingering for a very long finish. Smooth and balanced—finesse.
