September 25, 2023 - Had with roasted chicken and smashed potatoes. Served pretty cold. Uneven. First impression of blueberries and blackberries and black cherries. But then a wave of roughness, then back to the black fruits. Ended with more tannic roughness.

September 30, 2021 - Had again with Wagyu burgers. Just fine. Not spectacular, but ok. Some heat on the end of the bottle. Cork looked seriously dodgy but bottle was good. Bright ruby, little bricking.

November 26, 2018 - Still drinking pretty well. Plenty of fruit and structure. My guess is it has a few more years comfortably.

April 18, 2017 - Took about an hour for the initial bottle funk to dissipate, but opened up nicely after that. Probably time to drink 'em if you got 'em.
