12/17/2023 - jroberts86 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe CT drink dates seem correct. Despite being a bit past the prime there is still a lot to like about this wine. Fruit up front, then gorgeous tannins and quite a long pleasant finish. Don't wait unless you have several left. |

8/25/2023 - jroberts86 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThere was concern this might be past it's prime. Fear not! It was in the window of maximum drinkability. Nice nose, good fruit that was layered , and a long medium finish that was so enjoyable. My last bottle--but it was quite the star! |
