February 18, 2024 - Much better than our previous bottle but still not great. Tastes ok, some cherry, nice acidity to keep it fresh. But the nose it tough to get past so only drank about 1/2 the bottle.

November 17, 2021 - It was interesting to taste this after 45 year in the bottle, some earth and leafs with clear cab. franc signatures but mild tannins and strong acidity and clearly past its prime.

May 31, 2020 - If well treated and correctly paired, this is rockin. Cherryskin and green pepper, with brisk acidity
