    April 18, 2024 - Deep ruby. Med plus aromas of green bell pepper, black pepper, rocket, lavender, coffee nibs, dark chocolate, dried black cherry, ripe red plum, strawberry jam, a bit of tobacco. Full body, high alcohol, dry, med velvety tannins, med(+) acidity, long finish. The wine is very ripe and high alcohol and plush, so it’s not really my kind of wine BUT this is really well made especially for the price. Decently complex and long finish, ripe yet balanced. Would pair nicely with beef tacos with salsa verde. Probably good now but might improve. 91+

    April 2, 2024 - Not my favorite, but did improve after it was aerated and even more after the bottle was open for an hour or so. I will decant the next one before I have a taste.

    February 16, 2024 - Served in my wine course. Strawberry and ash in the nose. Medium bodied, not over-ripe. Initially a bit disjointed, but came together nicely after a few days later after being stored with vacuvin. Good QPR.
