Jun 12th, 2016Much goodness here, but also too much stewed fruit at this point. Beautiful tannin and wood integration, and the savory notes are on point. If I had a second bottle, I'm 60 percent sure I'd wait five years and hope for a better fruit outcome. 40 percent of me says drink before more stew comes.

Mar 29th, 2019Wonderful balance. Rose petals and delicate floral notes on the nose. Tart cranberry showing little age in the glass but tannins are starting to soften. Brought from our tasting at the winery with Mrs. Grasso
