  July 3, 2023 - PNP. Out of a paper cup on vacation. Still young, but nice fruit, ripe cherry and plum, some oak in the background. Medium+ body, slightly grippy tannins, very fresh and energetic. Fruit forward, as you would expect at this age, but really quite lovely now after a bit of air. Classically built, this should improve over the next 5-7 years.

  February 18, 2023 - Dark purple bowl to rim. Some dark berries, cooked cherries, lots of clay on the nose. Palate is more fruit than expected, plums, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, not as earthy. Medium plus tannins and acidity.
