It is now 2023. Still disappointed. Some cherry fruit and mild bright acidity, but it mostly falls flat. I don't know that any further time in the bottle will be beneficial.

Drinking beautifully right now. the nose is a bit understated but has lots of cherry with some rock/loam notes. In the mouth, the cherry explodes. This is still one of my favorite wines - I could drink it every day. It has at least 4 more years left, in my opinion.

Another tasting July 2021. Better than my previous tasting notes which did not impress me at all. Dave isn't as pessimistic as me (but why should he be). If my remaining bottles are like my current tasting this could go another 5 years (I nudged my drinking window out a bit). You be the judge.

I have opened bottles in 2019, 2020, and 2021. My private notes are all very consistent. Typical 777 nose. Very light fruit, not much on the mid palate but with good acid. Doesn't seem age-worthy, very unusual for the 777. Disappointed. Drink by 2023.

Really getting into its drinking window but should age well for at least 4 or 5 more years. Another wonderful vintage of the 777.
