December 13, 2022 - Definitely past prime -- best on day #2. It has lost a lot of the energy and intensity. At its best, it was an easy drinker with good dark fruit and nice mouthfeel. Maybe bottle variation?

SO maybe it's bottle variation (only bought 2). But just so much less a wine than a year ago. Today, we used what was left for making a bolognese sauce! I'm a big Mike Smith fan so just seemed like a one-off experience.
