March 24, 2024 - This wine was great. Nearing the end of the window in which it will be very good. The tannins are very subtle at this point. The wine is more delicate than it used to be, balanced flavors of ripe berries and a little earthiness.

December 24, 2017 - Ready to go. Big and jammy from beginning to end. Not a drop left. Next 3 years will be special (maybe longer?).
