Boys weekend in Detroit.
A very lifted expression of burgundy. So much focus and separation on the mid palate. Waxy lemons define the texture on the palate, which then combine with white fruits. Superb length on the finish. Moderate acidity and delicate sweetness bring home a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Even better on day two. — 5 months ago
Black core, purple/ruby rim.
Nose is impressive and perfumed. All flavors and scents are beautifully translated into the palate. Blueberry pancakes, sultry black cherries, dark plums, salty licorice sweets (traditional Dutch ‘zoute drop’..), smoked ham, spicebox (black pepper/cloves/cardamom). Quite robust yet extremely harmonious, never overbearing. Loved the acidic silver linings and ultra ripe, powdery tannines.
Opened yesterday, way better on day 2: 93 –> 97 — 3 months ago
A gentleman told me that he and I would always be friends. We shared a plate of cherries and drank this wine while watching a sunrise. I never saw him again. — 7 months ago

Different, serious, less of a structured discussion and more of a Hunter S. Thomson missive. Paired well with salted raw corn. — 7 months ago
