April 20, 2024 - So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: I’m really impressed by this. Opened with an ah so, and only moderately soaked cork. Nose of red fruit, but muted and light. Raspberry - maybe stewed - and other cooked berries, pie like, but not sweet. I had super low expectations, but this was nice. Certainly not improving, but if you have these, drink now with confidence.

August 10, 2019 - Loved this wine. Cork was definitely on it's last legs. A large amount of sediment. But filtered and decanted and it was just delicious. Still had good body, aged flavor to it. Definitely drink up soon.

May 1, 2015 - Earthy, currants, mushrooms, and tobacco on the nose. Good balance with dark berries on the palate. Medium finish. Nice mature wine, but not too complex.
