April 3, 2021 - Exact same review as my earlier one from 1-28-2021, even down to the crumbly cork.

January 28, 2021 - This was shockingly good, much better than I expected. PnP after 15 minutes to warm a bit from cellar temp. Crumbly cork, but after removed, very good aromas of dark fruit and a bit of oak. Dark color, full-bodied, with very nice mouthfeel. Just a hint of raisin on the finish, which seemed to go away after about half an hour. Very smooth. Lots of life left, no sign of diminishing, although the cork quality worries me a bit for the bottle I have left.

November 23, 2017 - Smooth, smooth, smooth. Balanced acidity with big fruity flavors. Strawberry sweet at the touch of the tongue. Nice smooth finish.
