Feb 2019....had with eggplant pasta largely because it needed to be consumed....wasn't at first liking it much....strong flavours and alcohol.....but became much more enjoyable after 30 minutes of aeration.....rich, full bodied, complex....happy to have sampled it (don't remember having first bottle..maybe gifted it??).

Aug 2022...gifted to Eric S, and had some. A good wine but had a strong flavour I wasn't super fond of. Maybe more time/aeration will change that?

2019/20 + 2022-23*
March 2021.....awesome wine, The quality shines through. Dont recall exact details (had 6 weeks ago) but do remember it was easily worth the price paid. Had with cedar planked salmon. Enjoy bottle no. 2 during the 2022 salmon season.
October 2023....still very good but maybe not as fresh as it once was. Pedigree is evident. Smooth as all get out. Enjoyed with Norah & Jess, dining on cedar plank salmon with a maple-soy glaze, was a great combo, as always.
