  A few years since my last bottle, this is developing nicely. Likely in or near its prime. A full bodied wine with nice balance. No need to keep holding but these will hold for another decade with ease.

  Feels like it’s past its drink by date. Brown and unintegrated. Maybe it will come back.

  It’s been about 1 1/2 yrs since last popped, and what a difference that time in bottle revealed.
  
  Was much less bright red fruit dominated, and was actually a nice blend of red, blue and black fruit commingled with some nice mild spice and completely integrated oak.
  
  Thought it a 92+, but gave it the extra nod up as it held consistently during the 5 hours open....My only complaint would have been the finish was a bit shorter than I would have hoped, but splitting hairs.
  
  I think it’s at its peak, don’t see any future maturity, however not a bad place to be and think it’s likely to ‘hang out’ here for a while, so no rush!!
  
  Likely be drinking my last two bottles over the next year or two, so if u gottem Enjoy.. no need for decant, is Open for Business!!

  6 years since last tasting- fully mature now and only needed one hour in decanter. Pleasant wine that should hold up for a few more years.
