  August 29, 2023 - Heavy bricking here with a significantly advanced profile. While there is some redeeming amaro character and a tinge of red and citrus fruit left, but this is largely dead with prominent soy sauce and broth. Could be bad storage.

  October 12, 2021 - Time to drink this one up. Zero tannins makes this wine very approachable. Dark in color with the rust of age, some sediment. Flavors get better over time, so open to air. Pleasant but not getting any better and it has lost forward fruit.

  October 15, 2017 - Heavy bricking, transparent to the core, though notably darker than pinot. The nose on this wine was clearly advanced and overripe; prune, raisin, wet hay, dried orange peel, baked strawberry, fresh meat, anise, and fennel seed. The palate still has that grenache-led sweet entry, with virtually no tannin, and moderate acid keeping things fresh. I particularly enjoyed the dried orange peel note on the lingering finish that kept me coming back, redeeming an otherwise challenging wine. I actually came to quite enjoy it by the end.
