  June 14, 2020 - What a treat. Rhubarb treacle, blackberry pie, black tea, fine tannin, moderate to moderate plus acidity. Goddamn. Delicious. A little hot, but so very sexy. Opulent and generous. Tasted after a 4 hour decant. Will revisit tomorrow.

  May 29, 2020 - Perfect Merlot. 16 years old and not a thing missing. Great balance of oak, earth, and berries. Wonderful color. Not much nose however....2 hours later, even better. Nice bouquet now. Wow.

  March 21, 2020 - No detailed notes. Wanted to like this more than I did. Fruit was there, but a touch on the astringent side. Still, a nice wine, which definitely showed better with food.
