    April 5, 2021 - Over the hill. Fruit is old, it's astringent, not much joy. dumped it. Too bad, my fault for waiting too long.

    October 22, 2019 - Mostly secondary notes at this stage, fruit is there but has become faint and simplistic. Not a complex bottle, but enjoyable. In decline, drink now

    May 7, 2019 - Very enjoyable bottle. A little earthy with great herbals but good dark fruit. Acidity is balanced, mild tannin. Enjoyable now, I don't think it's getting better, but I don't think this bottle was over the hill either.

    October 31, 2014 - Strong aroma of soil and earth. Rich minerals. Little fruitiness of raspberry strawberry.

    July 31, 2013 - Medium body. Mildly perfumed nose of violets and raspberry. Raspberry, cinnamon and some cassis flavor. Still very tannic and a bit out of balance. Would wait another 2-3 years.
