September 15, 2023 - Quick decant and served. Amazing blue fruit (plums dominated) pop. Great balance on the palate with a long silky finish. Fresh and showing no age. There was a touch of alcohol but it wasn't distracting. Fantastic wine.

April 1, 2022 - Brought to our last CWG (blind). The wine is ruby, no bricks on the edges, full body, a bit sweet and good complexity and finish. I guessed Cabernet but I should have known better.
I don’t see this wine getting any better, drink up!1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 1, 2022 - Similar to prior note after a 2 hour double decant, except this bottle was getting close being too ripe, a little sweeter, but still integrated its alcohol. One of our group guessed Amarone after blind tasting (good guess). Outstanding, drink up
