December 24, 2022 - WineBid purchase - the cork disintegrated but the wine was ok following decanting through a screen. Overall, pleased with this but perhaps a little off due to the bad cork.

November 20, 2021 - Amazing to me that I had my first experience with this wine 11 years ago.
I still love the wine for its dark fruit profile with subsatantial acidity and evolving tannins.
Wonderful to drink now and for another 5-10 years. Wish I had more of this to see it pass into full maturity. -

August 24, 2020 - Decanted and drank over 3 hour period. The color is deep dark purple with a big bouquet of dark fruit, oak and spice. The wine is full bodied with lots of dark fruit up front followed by cedar, lead pencil, nice acidity and a long delicious finish. Drinking beautifully right now.

May 26, 2019 - 92 (for its style, perhaps others would go higher)... this is big and bold for sure, in that sense modern (I generally don't like either modern or big), however it wasn't totally over the top / cloying -- rather it was very full bodied and nicely made, wine tasted similar on pnp and five hours later at dinner (after two decanter hours and three back in btl), black / dark fruit, nice acidity, some cedar and pencil lead... interestingly after the decant when putting back in btl the tannins were huge, but receding again before dinner... I think this has 5-10 drink window going fwd
