May 3, 2019 - Almost a year since I’ve had this. Followed over three days. I’ve posted way too much in this wine as it is, but it’s worth saying that there is stuffing to last a number of years. Notable focus here. Drink now with a decant or hold for 3-5 years.

Hmmm-I am the lone one in the boat on this one. I found the wine to exhibit sweet red flavors with a high pitched tone. Must be just me. Question-do the high end wines like B cellars or Memento Mori carry any of the same traits? Dave -

Switching topics how are you doing during this Covid 19 crisis? Want you to be safe! Dave -

8/4/20, 8:25 AM - The B Cellars will be approachable early on due to sweet ripe fruit and baby fat. MM I prefer with about 5+ years in bottle.
Just another groundhog day re: COVID. Thanks for asking. Hope you're staying safe. -
