    March 10, 2024 - Good bottle but definitely past its prime.

    January 2, 2018 - On the decline. Much bricking. Most of the fruit was gone. Needs decanting for the sediment, but much of the flavor profile is a wil-o-the-wisp

    December 31, 2017 - Aging quite well. Balance, good fruit (red/dark), good length on the finish. Intensity is still there. Very happy with this bottle.
