July 29, 2023 - This has lost touch since we first started drinking them way back when - Have not tried a bottle in 2.5 year. My good friend Michael thinks while good it is on the way down. I think that it is on a plateau - it will not get better but it will not go south anytime soon. It is still a great bottle of wine. It might have been the stiff competition from the Realm Dr Crane that we drank alongside. I opened the bottle 3 hours before dinner. The nose was dark fruit and mocha. The palate was blueberry, dark plums, tobacco and hints of mocha which led to a long, smooth finish as well as a touch of raspberry. Served with assorted appetizers.
