September 2, 2023 - Needs some air- hour 3 was by far the best. Very good , but a hint of sour, and not as much secondary flavor as I would like to see. Does it need more time??

June 27, 2023 - Pnp. Nose exhibited eucalyptus, blackberries, dark currants, leather, graphite and smoke. Palate was youthful and vibrant with layers of sensation that resembled the nose. Drinking at peak but likely to stay at this level for a long while.

March 10, 2023 - 2023 Napa in the City: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Out of a magnum. Totally awesome. Drinking really well. Lots of mineral and fruit and good energy. Plenty of time left but drinking really well today.
