November 27, 2023 - My bottle may have been on it way down when I drank it. Wasn't as good as I expected.

August 19, 2023 - Pop and pour, very approachable and fruit forward, well integrated acidity and smooth silky tannins.

June 6, 2021 - Consistent with my notes from previous bottle in 2017, this wine impressed us again. Holding steady with some primary cherry fruit left, and the layers come on, even on day two after initial double decant and re-cellaring overnight. Seriously outpunts its coverage, and thrilled to have two bottles left.

April 26, 2021 - Continues to get better with age - last bottle was the best bottle. At 16 it is just hitting its stride, plenty of runway left. Fresh, complex and concentrated with finesse and balance...just amazing.
