March 9, 2024 - Tart red fruit forward but quickly moving into dark blackberry, not quite stewed but deep and rich, some oak influence

February 4, 2024 - LIQUIDGRAPE’s note seems spot on to me. Scoring a point higher because my wife was a bigger fan. Personally, I think plenty of Côtes du Rhônes give the same pleasure for half the cost.

February 2, 2024 - PnP- on the nose plum, black current, wild flowers, cedar, sandalwood and leather. The palate is a bit tight with the fruit yielding to flavors of black tea, sage and thyme with drying tannins on the finish. The nose is much more expressive than the palate. I put a stopper in the bottle and let it sit overnight.
Day 2: Nose is showing a bit more fruit (plum and blackberry) along with the same wild flowers, cedar and leather noted the first day. The palate has filled out a bit more with blackberry, tar and espresso bean. The finish is medium length with fine drying tannins. Overall, I liked this more on the second day. Would consider it an 88 based on day 2.1 person found this helpful Comment -
