From a 3L on Christmas Eve. Cork was a bit brittle so was nervous but wine was not affected. Drinking at its peak it feels. This stuff continues to deliver right after it’s opened. A sweeter front palate of dark chocolate and rich ripened dark berries. Tannins are integrated but add support and structure to some lingering spice.

Out of a 3L on Thanksgiving 2023! Drinking the best I’ve ever tasted this vintage. Love this vineyard and have enjoyed many bottles of this over the years. This one is just showing visible signs of age in the glass but the structure, fruit, and acids are all in perfect harmony right now. I love the mix of bright cherry on the nose and and deeper dark berries on the palate. Killer. Have one more 3L and think it has plenty of time. Will revisit in a couple years.
