November 23, 2022 - My fault for leaving it in cellar until far after it's prime, but was only still barely ok. Was musty when first uncorked, but opened up a couple hrs after decanting. Fell apart structurally.

February 26, 2022 - 4th Saturday Group Cellar Diminishment (Sue’s): Aromas of currants, plum and dried herbs. Medium tannins, with cedar and black currant flavors. Lingering finish. Drinking nicely at the moment. (SS)

May 8, 2016 - We thought this wine might have passed its prime, but decanting it and letting it open up for an hour or so made a big difference.
