August 10, 2023 - Delicious right from the start, and improved throughout the evening, with dusty black & blueberries, dried tobacco, and touches of leather & winter spice. Tannins danced throughout the long, silky finish.

July 7, 2023 - Decanted for sediment. A lot of the upfront oak driven notes of coffee and chocolate that I remember from this wine have integrated and now it is mostly dark, plummy and black cherry fruit and spicy tobacco with a bit of sweet and sour sauce on the finish. Medium acid and tannin. Relatively long finish. In a very good spot and I would likely drink up if still holding any.

December 20, 2021 - I got this 10 years ago, then forgot about it until recently. The cork crumbled badly - my fault for treating it like a younger bottle - so I've been constantly dodging cork bits while drinking this (even with a filter!). The color seems to be just starting to brick, with thin edges. A nose of cedar, rum, and slightly overbaked strawberry pie. Medium bodied, very dirty cranberries, sage and rosemary, a trace of cherries, rustic tannins, smoke and leather, and a really nice, long dry finish. Very enjoyable and worth the wait.

July 28, 2021 - Wow. This has gone from bruiser to elegant. No sign of any fading but why wait it's in a perfect drinking window.
