Mar 22nd, 2018On the nose strong aromas of plums and cherries. Very vibrant dark fruit flavors and grippy tannins supported by solid acidity

Jul 20th, 2017Not much of a nose, but a great tannin roar at first sip, totally drinkable (2015), but definitely could use more time to smooth tannins and let body come together, wonderful herbaceous notes (oregano/thyme), whiskey like pop just before finish, kind of wraps together at the end as if the trajectory is toward the feel of acidic fruit on a cankersore, it's nice though! rich purple color, royal, opened up more, complex wet sticky layering, really neat
