May 11, 2024 - Impressive. The balance of acidity, pure fruit, and tannin was gorgeous, with all three still in the young stages of their development. Vibrant and youthful mouthfeel. At Katie and Tim's and paired with buttered steak and potatoes with cream cheese and cole slaw.

April 13, 2024 - An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): Deep bouquet with dark berries, cassis, licorice, dark chocolate and a pleasant dose of oak. Same on the palate, firm acidity and tannin, a slight touch of sweetness. Beautiful wine already, but still too young. Will show more elegance and finesse around 2030 I suppose. For now 93 – 94+

April 6, 2024 - A 3 hour double decant revealed wonderfully pure aromas of blackberry and mossy, mushroom tones that led to a silky, saturated, blackberry and mineral driven flavors that maintained both tension and freshness through the long-lasting finish. 96+(+)

April 3, 2024 - My final bottle peaks with a 95 rating. Remarkable complexity for its midweight, elegant body. Initial impression of smoke quickly dissipates in favor of currant, herbs, graphite, bramble, dried red fruit, pomegranate, and dried flowers. That's a lot of descriptors merited by a terrific, sophisticated wine for the vintage.

March 13, 2024 - Structured and refined showing notes of blackberry, flower, earth, licorice and spice. Very delicate in style but well structured. Medium bodied and still quite a bit of fined grained teeth staining tannins. Long finish. NI:3, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:5
