April 29, 2022 - A few years since my last bottle, this is developing nicely. Likely in or near its prime. A full bodied wine with nice balance. No need to keep holding but these will hold for another decade with ease.

April 12, 2021 - Feels like it’s past its drink by date. Brown and unintegrated. Maybe it will come back.

February 29, 2020 - It’s been about 1 1/2 yrs since last popped, and what a difference that time in bottle revealed.
Was much less bright red fruit dominated, and was actually a nice blend of red, blue and black fruit commingled with some nice mild spice and completely integrated oak.
Thought it a 92+, but gave it the extra nod up as it held consistently during the 5 hours open....My only complaint would have been the finish was a bit shorter than I would have hoped, but splitting hairs.
I think it’s at its peak, don’t see any future maturity, however not a bad place to be and think it’s likely to ‘hang out’ here for a while, so no rush!!
Likely be drinking my last two bottles over the next year or two, so if u gottem Enjoy.. no need for decant, is Open for Business!! -

July 11, 2019 - 6 years since last tasting- fully mature now and only needed one hour in decanter. Pleasant wine that should hold up for a few more years.
