  Utterly delightful and consistent with prior bottle.

  From magnum. Crystalline burgundy color, and a precise Sonoma nose. Drinking well, not showing any premature ageing, though it may be plateauing. Perhaps some more evolution over the next couple of years, but probably time to start drinking these.

  Last bottle from this vintage. In OCNJ with family, porchetta, roasted potatoes and salad for dinner. Splash decant, drank over an hour.
  
  Notes from 2020:"Medium ruby, translucent. Nose showing red fruits and floral/rose petal notes. Palate of bright red fruits, plum, strawberry, mild spice, black tea. Medium weight, light/elegant texture. Medium finish" Consistent with these notes - some in the group thought it was a little thin...one has to like the style. Understated and elegant wine. Core fruit is delicious with velvety texture
  
  Still drinking well, would drink up over the next few years

  Opened, poured into a decanter, and then enjoyed over 4 hours. Grassl Cru glass.
  Ruby garnet color.
  Floral nose, opening up to show some spice and sassafrass notes.
  Light red berry intro with some herbal elements and brown spice. The floral notes weave in and out. Good acidity.
  Enjoyable.
  
  Branded cork; no vintage or vineyard.

  Reductive on opening. Really needed about 1.5-2 hours of air to open. Once it did very earthy and savory on the palate with nice darker fruits and a pop of fresh acid.
