January 14, 2024 - Christmas dinner - this was a great bottle of wine. Spices, dark and red fruits, so much balance with so much complexity. Texturally this is classic DRC - just velvet in the glass. Doesnt have the depth of other DRC wines but this is its own thing and the DRC fingerprints are very recognizable.

December 18, 2023 - Lovely nose with tons of spices, strawberry notes, forest flavors, and underwood. The stems seem quite obvious but I like it. Good acidity on the palate with noticeable oak influence, more strawberries, red cherries, and forest notes. Long finish. A lovely wine that still feels very young and especially so on the palate. While the oak and stems are obvious, it doesn't feel unbalanced, just in need of more time. I would hold this for at least another 5 years. 94++

August 5, 2023 - So much elegance. Benefitted from air/decant. Spices, red and dark fruits, texture is to die for, so much power and finesse. A kaleidoscope of scents and flavors continually changing and evolving. This was better than the last bottle by a hair. More complex and complete at this stage. At peak with a long ride ahead in the zone.

June 20, 2022 - Super stemmy and loads of whole cluster notes on the nose. Almost pungent but in a good way. Very silky texture tannins are just velvet. Well integrated at this point. On the palate rich and voluptuous with bursting red fruits and spices. Overall very good but not the explosiveness of previous bottles. 93-94
