  This is doing really well. I haven't had any of these wines since 2014 on first release, but I'm enjoying this. Sweet oak spice, balsamic, stewed cherries, just like I remember from the original tasting. Soft texture, a bit of alcohol swell, but overall quite enjoyable.

  Now is as good a time as any to drink. Doesn’t seem to have much more. Perhaps has lost some complexity but still a great bottle. Very well balanced and consistent.

  PNP. cork fine. dark color. this has fairly dense fruit paired with fairly dense oak. was great with steak but alone a little too much for me.
