  April 13, 2019 - I haven’t decided what perfection tastes like. But this has to be close.

  This was my second and last of two bottles from my second vintage I received an allocation from. My allocations have gone up over the years since, though it is still a challenge because you mostly get a bootie or two of more of the wines produced. I appreciate that I am now getting almost all the wines (including Old Sparky) but it is really impossible to taste a single vintage label over multiple points in its life cycle. Ultimately I think give them 5 years and maybe pick some point before 15 to enjoy. They will age much longer, but probably more risk and less upside.
