    March 18, 2023 - Great balance. Deep red color with dark fruits and pencil lead shavings. Medium to heavy tannins that gave way after being open about 90 minutes. Wine got better with each sip and finish lasted 30 plus seconds

    September 25, 2022 - Slow-ox 2 days. The intense darkness envelops you when you drink this - blackberry, dark plums, mocha, black pepper, licorice, dark tan leather, dark chocolate. An assault on the senses from this darkness shuts out the outside world as the impact first hits you.

    Yet in this darkness, a warm sweet caramel lurking in the nose eases your soul. A freshly opened coconut reminds you of more sunshine-y days. A silky mouthfeel and a sensual, gripping finish hold you through the end of the intense journey.

    This was one of my favorite wines when I first tasted it last year, and it still is today. Thrilling and sensual. I can't wait to see where this is in the next few decades.
