    April 11, 2024 - Wow, this was a big wine. Plums, dark-berries, concentrated with notes of chocolate. Still very primary with the ripe-fruits masking the tannins. Probably will be ready in another decade or so...

    June 4, 2023 - This has progressed since my last bottle review 3 1/2 years ago. Deep purple in glass, plum and dark berries on the palate. This paired well with Beef Wellington. Lingers at end. Thought before that this suffered from weak vintage; I now think this deserves its Insignia heritage. Beware of some sediment.
