  At home with Nomad pizza, PnP. 3 years since last bottle.
  
  Pale purple/garnet color, mild separation. Nose showing red fruits, cherry, charcoal, floral notes. Palate of red plums, marinated cherry, vanilla. Mild tannins. Medium body and finish.
  
  Took about 20 minutes to really show. Much better than last bottle (from memory). It's shed some of its harsher edges. My last note indicated I didn't think it would improve....while fruit didnt add any depth it is a more enjoyable wine now

  pale garnet, perhaps some bricking. Delicious perfumed nose. Mod acidity, needs food, marinara worked. Decant an hour, a lot of tannins still. Should improve.

  Another delicious showing. Medium bodied with light red cherry, red plum fruit. Pretty same on the nose, fragrant medium intensity. Overall, very nice without being profound.

  With our wood oven pizzas for a bday celebration. Pulled from the cellar for a nice, easy drinking wine for a casual dinner.
  
  Prior notes: "Medium purple color. Red fruits, floral on the nose. Very aromatic at first opening. Palate of strawberry/cherry, vanilla. Smooth mouthfeel, mild tannins..."
  
  This bottle a bit dryer and less expressive aromatics than prior bottles. Drink over next couple years, will not likely improve much from here.

  Ruby with slight bricking at the edges. Aroma of roasted cherries, violets, smoke. Square dollop of fruit on the palate, strong puckering tannins, aromatic blueberry afternotes. Quite lovely. 50 + 15 + 15 + 8 = 88.
