March 20, 2024 - PnP. Could be a 92. Still very tannic: I suggest to wait another three years or so. Medium body. Tastes of orange peel, citrus. Sharp edges. Interesting, but I am hoping it will develop into something bettter.

February 8, 2024 - Drinking superbly right now. Very well balanced, medium weight on the palate, smooth texture with well rounded tannins. Notes of red berries..just a terrific wine.

October 14, 2023 - Thought this would be a little on the young side but it was surprisingly balanced and well integrated. Bigger wine but very smooth with softer yet present tannins, lovely fruit. Very pleasant and went great with a ribeye with aji amarillo sauce and other Peruvian cuisine accompaniments.

March 27, 2023 - Very good - intense fruits and med+ acidity but not overwhelming and teeth staining as I have found some other petite sirahs (not a ton of experience with these). Anyways also worked well w pasta bolognese on day 2
