April 29, 2022 - Maybe just an off bottle, liked this more in past, maybe my tastes evolved. Meh.

January 2, 2022 - Somewhat out of sync, more tannin than I expected at this age, have enjoyed more in past. Balance between fruit at this phase and structure left me feeling confused.

November 14, 2020 - Double decanted //Taste after decanting had a very rough start and finish with tannins still dominating //
After 90 minutes, (1) initial taste loaded with blackberry, dried cherries, ash and oak // (2) Middle taste layered in oak,
and rosemary with the dark and dried fruit // (3) Finish had softer dark fruit with light almond and oak // Unusal blend
percentages along w/a talented touch by the winemaker created a wine that still delivered 3 hours after decanting //1 person found this helpful Comment -
