  August 17, 2023 - I agree with MS86, this shows remarkable youth given it is a second wine, albeit from a great vintage. Personally I enjoyed the fruit and would drink now.

  October 6, 2022 - Impressive longevity, especially for a second wine. Clear, medium almandine to ruby in glass.
  
  Nose is ripe and juicy with juice berry candy, oregano and basil.
  
  On the palate the wine feels young and primary with notes of graphite, ripe red fruit and powerful acidity.
  
  There is plenty of room to mature. I’m guessing this won’t hit peak for another decade.

  April 4, 2021 - Fresh blackberry, raspberry nose. Good dark fruit on the palate with good acidity and moderate tannins. Medium bodied and shorter finish than the first wine.
