  February 16, 2024 - Pnp, at restaurant. Some bricking noted. Fresh on nose and palate with upfront red and black fruits. Good acidity. Good with food. Medium bodied. In a good place tonight and still alive albeit demure on night four at home. Lots of sediment.

  August 7, 2021 - Sort of an experiment to keep some bottles back to see how well this ages. Overall, its doing pretty well. Interestingly it changed quite a bit within 4-5 hours of opening. Seemed much fresher, riper, with some big black fruit on opening. But then became funky, almost oxidized in aroma some 4 or 5 hours later. Still held up well, but would suggest pop and pour.

  January 15, 2016 - Well this one has turned a corner, and definitely for the better. Beautiful fragrant and spicy black fruit aromas. Some licorice and vanilla in the mix. Palate is bold on fruit, a touch heady and spicy, and the acidity is refreshing, which makes it a very easy drinking and mouthfilling wine right now. Slipped down delightfully.

  November 30, 2014 - A bit rough. Slight bitter finish. Perhaps still a bit young.
