  March 16, 2024 - Popped and poured. Bought from a store a couple years back. Same impression as BDEBLANK — almost amarone like, particularly on the nose with all of its dried fruit. The palate was dominated by tobacco and black cherry with some remaining freshness that saves this from drinking too port-like.

  February 26, 2024 - A beautifully mature Cabernet. PnP, not decant needed. Opens with black fruit, cassis, plum, light leather, earth, slight cedar. Lots of flavor with black fruits, cassis, anise, leather, earth, cedar. Beautiful balance. smooth silky , long finish. In a great drinking window. Based on this bottle, no hurry to open but drinking really well.

  February 5, 2024 - To late, at least for this bottle. Almost amarone-like upon opening. After decanting for an hour, much of that had blown away, but still came across as tired.

  December 26, 2023 - Last bottle of this. I see I posted an unenthusiastic TN in 2010 but can't recall how other bottles showed in the ensuing years. This bottle was fantastic. Decanted for a few hours.. No sign of bricking. Rich, lush, dark fruits, on the palate. Tannins resolved but I think this wine is on a long plateau. Pure pleasure. Can't imagine how good the Reserve must be.
