April 27, 2024 - From magnum. Score consistent but with a much more developed wine. Thrilled with the aging durability and complexity of this bottling.

April 27, 2019 - Consistent with previous tasting notes. I think if I was tasting this blind, I'd almost certainly think this was a CdP - the fruit and funk are there in just the right proportions.

May 7, 2017 - This one feels like it may be thinning out a bit, with age, based on other reviews. Tasty though. Good mushroomy nose, earthy with dark fruit on the tongue. Decent. Truly.
