    December 25, 2023 - Decanted ~2hrs, and it’s just lovely. Gorgeous color to top it off. Wish I had more.

    August 4, 2023 - Decanted 3 hours. Young but already a good wine. I think it's worth opening a bottle, although it could be even better with more time in the cellar. 93 pts. at the moment.
