    March 15, 2024 - Bright ruby red with the smallest hint of browning at the edges. Immediately smells like raspberry candy and brilliant red fruits which opens to an earthy cedar. Significantly less Bordeaux funk than its bigger sibling but the undertones are there. Palate was initially of cherries and then it closed down for an hour or so. Tannins are fully integrated and well rounded. Emerged to cranberries and cherries with an oak backbone. At its peak but not going anywhere soon.

    March 9, 2024 - Fabulous with a simple meal. This wine and vintage has a lot of years left in the cellar!

    January 28, 2024 - Fruit forward (for a Bordeaux). Nice soft integrated tannins. Medium plus weight. Very nice wine. Drink soon.

    December 29, 2023 - Still youthful & tight. Better on days 2 & even 3! Sit for another 5-10 years.

    December 10, 2023 - Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. Drank a glass over an hour. This had a 1 hour double decant. I thought this drinking pretty well, open and giving, pretty dark fruits, it had some volatility on the palate, so I still think maybe this is a better short term drinker.
