  First bottle in about 6 1/2 years. Noticeable bricking. Allowed to breath in glass for about 45 minutes after pouring. Faint aromatic notes of lavender, smoke, black currants, and salted meats. On the attack this has surprising vigor for its age with pepper, smoked meats, and ripe black fruits, before promptly passing into the finish with a chalky mineral finish. The length is short-lived.
  
  This feels as though it has celebrated it's retirement party. While it has a few years remaining, this is probably best consumed through 2023.

  Very smooth throughout. Great red fruits, well balanced. Not as full-bodied on the finish as I would have liked. But still a very solid wine.
  Maybe drinking at its peak now or perhaps just past peak. Will start to mature soon.

  On the backend of its life for sure but still drinking good. PnP.

  Interesting wine - might be near its peak. Don’t remember much else from the night
