April 27, 2023 - Deep red with purple tones. Sediment significant (should have stood up a while). Ripe cherry body, some cedar and menthol, touch of white pepper. Drinking well - no need for more cellaring.

December 15, 2022 - medium red color with bricked rim, lovely aged wild strawberry note on the mature nose, soft moss and forest floor, on the palate gently faded, soft berry notes, lingering scents and textures and a finish that is only just still there, attractive in its way and we caught it just in time, carpe diem.

May 3, 2020 - Opened and poured. Lots of reds showing on this, our first Koplen. Not as weighty as many KBs, and showing some unique vineyard characteristics. Solid.

November 30, 2019 - Same as my prior note....thanksgiving 2019 lineup. was still vibrant with fruit and life...needs a bit of time to breathe, integrate and open. more powerful than a 2006 sea smoke southing...but not as good...this was bought winery direct and has been in a temp controlled cellar since release

January 13, 2019 - opened and let breathe in the bottle for 30 mins...needs a full 45 - 60 to open and integrate...a bit out of balance and syrupy until it fully opens...when it does...it's harmonious and wonderful.
