October 28, 2022 - Good, needed to breathe for at least 2 hours to open up. Smooth tannins, although could age for another 5-7years. Fruit not jumping out of the glass, reasonable body and length

February 10, 2022 - Lots of ble fruit, some bitterness on the finish. Hope this does soften. Good but needs more time.
