January 6, 2024 - Very good Merlot, more full-bodied than a typical Merlot but with the familiar strawberry and vanilla notes. Tannins are very well integrated, and the finish is very good.

November 5, 2023 - Liked this far more than the 2008. Light floral on the nose. Cherry fruit. Sweet and spicy. Good finish.
