Dec 30th, 2020Dark hue, jungle canopy nose. Cinnamon stick, alfalfa, cumin seed attack. Juniper berry, boysenberry, cranberry bog mid palate. Tannins finding exceptional balance with decantation!

May 20th, 2015In a great place right now, just entering its drinking window 14/15 years post-vintage. Rich and muscular showing black fruit, tar, animal, rubber, and brown spice notes. I don't think the rubbery mercaptan element will ever resolve fully, but it comes with the territory and it integrates nicely with the wine at this point.
