  The Botanica is consistently good. Sappy red fruit with a long finish.

  Prior bottle was 16 months ago and this continues to show impressively. Black and red cherry as well as light mineral notes on the nose. Slightly over medium bodied with rounded and expressive black cherry upfront with some red cherry highlights. Mid-body adds darker black cherry as well as deeper plum and brighter blackberry. The mid-body shows both elegance and definition. Fruit notes blend seamlessly into the acidity, tart black and red cherry, fine grained tannins and mineral qualities. As with my prior bottle, one of the wine's main strength's is its overall balance; stellar. This should show well for a number of additional years, but is really hitting it's stride. Next bottle for me will be June/July 2024.

  Needs air min 1-2 hrs, velvety mouthfeel, dark fruit, a tad non- descript, but it was surprisingly good and satisfying.
  Sort of a cross between California and Burgundy. Comes across as a high quality well done wine but maybe lacks some character.
  
  After a few days on nitrogen, the last glass showed more complexity and a greater depth of flavor with nice cranberry notes. Upped the score from the original 91.

  Drank over two days. Good, but not remarkable. Light body, texture, concentration. A little too sweet. I prefer the Ceres to the Botanica, a personal preference
