July 24, 2022 - Similar notes to previous posts but for some reason this bottle was sharper, more intense and just all around slightly better. Excited to open up future vintages.

November 25, 2021 - Color: Dark & Rich
Nose: Reflects front palate
Front palate: Blackberry, leather, tobacco
Mid palate: Nothing really stands out, most likely due to waiting too long to open
Back palate: Long but something not clearly identifiable finish, also most likely due to over aging.
This wine has good balance and still has good, balanced tannin pairing extremely well with Thanksgiving Prime Rib dinner. -

January 4, 2019 - This wine was good when it was a few years younger but it's a bit over the hill now. Somewhat sour, the fruit is quite matured and going, tannins are largely gone. Nevertheless it would go well with some rich, meaty foods.
