Tannins have mellowed to silky. Red fruit, tobacco, leather, blueberry. Moderate length. Fruit has decreased. Past its peak but enjoyable. Will finish soon. Community drink dates were too generous.

excellent nose with black fruit, balsam, cedar. Fine tannins with age, full body, leather, graphite flavors coming up but the fruit is intact with good acid. Wish I had more! My only bottle was purchased in Dec 2020 and now seeing the light of the day. The wait was worth it based on comments from 2020. This should be good for another 2-5 years but is excellent now.

In retrospect, it was a lot of work and if the truck wasn't involved I would have gone with carrier service. If it was good weather then truck was reasonable. Due to July had to do more work. How is PA treating you?

I used Western Carriers, it was quite simple and they were very easy to work with and their quote was reasonable to me if that helps!
