April 14, 2023 - Still young, opened with breathing in glass. Good dark fruit, smooth moutheel, fine yet firm tannins, balanced, long finish. Very enjoyable.

September 4, 2021 - Nice to revisit and see the maturation of this wine. Beautiful dark fruit, mollified but present tannins, smooth mouthfeel, green flavors gone, long finish. Very enjpyable wine.
