December 3, 2023 - Needs air at this point. Tannins quite present after an hour or so. I would follow Justin Smith recommendations for opening. See the website

February 4, 2023 - Grenache predominant blend. Intense aromas - black cherry, blackberry, spice, no alcohol burn. Full body, prominent but not harsh tannins that will get better with bottle ageing. Flavors well developed, integrating, cherry, black fruit, prune, and leather. Finishes well. Hold other bottle for at least 3-4 years.
