March 9, 2024 - Why I have held onto this for so long I have no idea. Alas it was time to go. Had a glass on night 1 after about an hour of airtime. It was okay, it didn’t scream meaty or fruits, rather nondescript. I stuck the cork back in hoping for a turnaround on the second day as I was done for the night anyway. Day 2 followed similar to day 1 after tracking for several hours. Just okay, nothing new. This actually had a bit of Grenache in it that surprised me along with the standard Viognier addition. Drink up.

December 1, 2022 - Dark fruit (black cherry, slight plum), nice vanilla, slight spice, slight oak, earth. Some tannins. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.
Better with an hour or so of air. Popped and poured -

December 3, 2019 - Still drinking nicely. I decanted because the cork fell apart. It’ll probably probably go over the hill fairly soon.
