Vintage 2022 | This was the first red wine bottle to lay my hands on, to combine with a spicy chili con carne. The fruitiness worked. — 10 days ago

More later but wow is this stunning as I remember. So refined and elegant. Unreal fruit, granitic lift and length. Genius. Ahh, so gamey, meaty, olivey and feral now with great sweet fruits and a silky texture. Gorgeous. — 10 months ago

Nice but perhaps not at the level I was hoping. Quite fruit forward with lots of nice dark fruit with the requisite olive notes etc. Tannins and acid both less than expected. Nice pairing with chicken roasted with feta and olives. — 9 months ago

PnP after a long, successful ballgame.
Big waxy candied citrus, nose, needs some air to coax. Gives the impression of great depth. Clementines. Pears.
P: Very round, mouth filling, very glyceral, lemon skin, ginger. Really develops with air.

Just a sick sick wine. Nose is the most intense olive. Black, green, tapenade. Just wow. Some blackberry fruit and inane mintiness. Such deepness. So much depth and umami. So many unique aromas that I can’t quite identify. What a palate. Ripe, linear and so juicy. Balanced and pure with flavors of blackberry and olive. Really juicy and fresh. One of the richer 21’s. Having said that the energy is undeniable. This needs air but man the bones are there. So juicy and sleek today. Like an oil slick on the palate but so energetic. Long finish. 9.5 to 9.6 overnight. Really nice granite today. — 7 months ago

Very pretty notes at the top with a lovely gnarly undertow. Very characterful and dense with some tannins on the end of the palate. Delicious — a year ago
