  January 30, 2024 - Good, rustic, simple Bordeaux blend, deeply extracted, but with a decent acid and tannin structure. It’s made in a modified International style, meaning a very nice 13% only, and oak that is not too intrusive, in a big dark-fruit package. Lots of primary matter here, but too expensive to be a daily drinker and too unpolished to be special.

  January 25, 2024 - Appearance: Brackish to dark red
  Nose: Smell of dark cherries, blackberries, with hints of chocolate and tobacco.
  Palate: Still quite high tannins, with a big mix of dark fruit flavors mixed in.
  
  After about an hour out, much more fruit complexity is coming through and less tannic. Definitely age this one longer for three or four more years.

  July 27, 2023 - Decanted for an hour. Deep violet color with some magenta at the rim. Lots of earthiness on the nose. Notes of tobacco, leather, graphite, cassis, and a touch of mint. On the palate, it is rich with lots of juicy black fruits intermingling with mineral and dark chocolate/coffee notes, ending on a lengthy, grippy, leathery finish. Despite its youthful exuberance there's already some sediment in the bottle, most likely due to the organic winemaking style. Vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins, this will age comfortably over the next decade. Probably not as concentrated as I was hoping for a wine of this style.

  March 21, 2023 - The nose kicks off with espresso, coffee bean, chocolate, black cherries and flowers. The wine is rich, fleshy and concentrated with dark red fruits, toasty oak and chocolate. Round-textured and youthful, it is going to need a year or more in the cellar to allow the oak to better integrate. Drink from 2025-2040.
