September 3, 2022 - Solid, and still with fruit, but alcohol also. Potent. Not in any way faded. It has integrated with the tannins, so they are softer, and there is good deal of residue on inside of bottle. Think this could go more, but would say no more than 5.

December 23, 2020 - Unbelievable, rich, deep flavors, drinking wonderfully. Incredibly well-balanced, notes of fig and black fruit. A really special wine.
