June 8, 2021 - Smooth, attractive and mellow. Fruit has melded nicely, but finishes a little short with a gentle sherry undertone. This bottle began with an unfortunate streak of TCA, which blew off after a few hours. Drink now.

December 25, 2020 - Opened up to try prior to serving with a Christmas dinner of beef tenderloin and all the trimmings. Still going strong. It has definitely mellowed but still a lot of fruit. Looking forward to seeing how it pairs with the filet roast. Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope you can find some joy in the remainder of this train wreck of a year.
