This was the last bottle of 2 plus cases. overall, I feel like this was one of the best values I've ever bought. This bottle was mellow, moderate nose, fairly pretty but a bit disappointing in that it doesn't seem to have evolved since a bottle circa 2018

Last of the bunch, best of the bunch. Previous bottles indicated a fade, but this one stood up proud & tall. Blue and black fruit very present but right along some some barrel tones, smooth tannin and rusticity.

Still interesting on the nose @ P&P, and even more so after pouring thru a Vinturi. Nice mouthfeel, about the same impressions as in 2018, 2020

After being open an hour it was probably close to a 93 at a blind tasting. Great nose of dark fruit, spiciness,
