December 20, 2020 - Deep purple hue. Black fruit, deep earth, slight herbs. Body medium-full, nicely developed fruit, dark berries, smooth, easy drinking. Drinking very nicely-- not sure if it will get better. Terrific effort and is a bottle worth getting; especially around a fireplace.

April 7, 2020 - Poured through a strainer to remove some light sediment and drank over two hours. No need to decant this its ready to go upon opening. Deep purple in color, medium/full body. Beautifully integrated tannins with a 30+ second finish. Drink up.

March 13, 2020 - This is drinking really well. Tannins are nicely integrated but still present, good acidity, both of which nicely balanced out very ripe fruit. I don’t see this getting any better, but I would think it’s still great for a few more years.
