March 12, 2022 - Very nice again. Not quite as good as the last two bottles - lacks concentration comparatively. Excellent balance, with notes of bright red fruit (cherry and raspberry) and oak.

March 20, 2021 - Absolutely gorgeous and better than two years ago. Verve, with beautiful clarity and color. Notes of raspberry, blackberry, oak and tobacco. No sediment, funk or barnyard notes, with a medium, long finish.

March 6, 2021 - Well structured but rather unyielding of pleasure. Just lacking the body to really deliver. Needs a good hour decant.

March 2, 2019 - Brutally cold night in Denver for early March. Gorgeous Pommard Rugiens, with great color, clarity and superb balance. Notes of blackberry, tobacco and earth floor, with a medium long finish.
