  April 26, 2023 - DRINK UP !!
  Or don't.
  I've mentioned this at least 10 times in the past 2 years methinks.
  
  This last bottle, like the rest, were of acceptable quality and this one, seemed better than most.
  
  But, won't buy it again, even if it did "fit the bill"!

  April 23, 2023 - Time to drink up!!!!
  Score continues to fall.
  This wine will likely not last another year.
  
  Have had a number of bottles in the past 6 months or so, and sequentially, it's not improving!

  March 12, 2023 - As stated previously, it's a good wine, but it's time to drink up remaining bottles.
  
  Messed up this earlier note.
  This was like the rest, but now I know what to expect.
  It's a good wine, but is on a quick descent to the salad bowl!
  
  It's nice. But drink it! Before you can't!
  
  Addendum - I left this in a decanter for 4 days. And therefore, tasted a glass everyday for 5 days. A wine that had age-worthiness will evolve to become somewhat more elegant and layered.
  This sample, became old and oxidized between days 2 and 3. Alas, open it and drink it! Today. In one day!

  March 1, 2023 - Drinking this with vim and vigour.
  It's really much better than when the first bottles were sipped
  This soldier was more forthright. Not fruit forward, but had more grip and mouthfeel.
  Very nice. Elegant.
  Nothing to do with the steak and veggie pie, though no doubt that was fatty and salty enough to quell any remnants of tannic structure for sure!
  But, best bottle in two cases. Getting closer to seeing why Dunnuck rates this a 90

  February 28, 2023 - Taking my own advice and drinking the remaining bottles asap.
  These bottles have been relatively consistent in that the blend character has been similar. I know, big surprise!
  But, a few smaller differences in the tannin resolved etc
  Pop the cork.
