October 13, 2020 - I believe it is definitely going downhill fast. Medium+ body. Little boring due to lacking acidity. But, stylistically it is modern and sophisticated. Ripe tropical fruits dominate with slight saltiness.

January 30, 2019 - Drinking quite well. Has stamina for another 1-2 years of further development.

September 5, 2018 - Agree with others here. Quite lightly oaked and more steely than rounded. Very nice especially for this price if perhaps not particularly memorable.
