May 21, 2021 - Agree with the spice and peppery comments - very smooth right now but i would drink up. Excellent but at its zenith!

January 10, 2021 - This bottle was a bit different from the previous one. There was a strong smell of pine, something I've not experienced before, and it bordered on unpleasant. Fortunately, the flavors had none of that. Fruit is definitely in the background, dominated by mineral and a touch of spice. Medium-bodied, not tannic at all. After this bottle, I think it's time to drink up.

November 20, 2020 - Earthy aroma and light red in appearance. Medium-bodied with stone and red berries. A touch of effervescence was the only drawback. I think the fruit will fade from here but it should last a few more years.

June 4, 2018 - This is in a great place right now. PnP, was ready to go on open, but held steady through the two hours over which it was consumed, so I think there's no harm in holding for another couple of years or more. Elegant and silky, a bit peppery, fruit is still present and balanced. Really enjoyable bottle.
