  February 19, 2020 - Definitely mature, but some fruit still there... Mellow loamy oyster-mushroomy forest funk, but some nice fruit and balance.

  October 18, 2013 - Drinking well now. Needs about 30 mins in the glass to breath before it starts opening up.

  June 3, 2013 - Eucalyptus on the nose; a bit of red fruit and white pepper on the palate. Not as rich and complex as it might be, but better than might be expected given the off year, and good enough for the price.

  May 27, 2013 - Enjoyable for an aged wine from a poor vintage. Slightly tart, still a hint of fruit left, some secondary flavors. But a bit thin unfortunately. (Update on 2nd night: this has put on some weight, so it has actually improved in 24 hours.)

  March 26, 2013 - Nose of eucalyptus, with a barnyard note. Roses and cherry on the palate, with a bit of spice and tannin. This is passing from primary flavors into secondary, and I don't think it has the staying power to hold its interest for much longer. A decent wine from a weak vintage.
