September 17, 2023 - A touch of rustic notes on the nose but some lovely red currant, tobacco, and spice notes. Getting better with air.
Medium body, med acid, med+ tannin. Quite powerful in the mouth for a wine of its age.
Finish shows a bit of iron and rustic qualities again.
All in all, damn good and will be in a great spot over the next 5+ years
November 15, 2021 - BBQ spices, roasted meat, exotic wood... Superb balance, roasted strawberries, sappy tannin, very good lenght.

June 23, 2019 - No more tannins left. On the nose, cedar, red fruits. Sweet on the palate, fruitcake. Soft mouthfeel.
December 9, 2018 - After about an hour of air...
Light bricking at the edge, deep red core.
Simple, in a really nice way, on the nose. Focused, red fruit, leather, and a bit of mixed spices.
Mouthfeel is medium weighted with medium plus acidity.
All in all a nice wine that will go another 5-10 easily.
