April 11, 2024 - Has been laying in my cellar for a decade and well worth the wait. Full bodied, high alcohol and very complex.

July 1, 2023 - Last bottle of the case, wish there were more. Lovely full body wine that packs a lot of likables in each sip.

November 1, 2022 - In perfect shape. Dark almost purple color. Nose of dark fruit, chocolate, oak, graphite. Mid to high acidity and tannins. Long finish with a lot of power. Probably at peak now.

September 29, 2020 - 91. Cherry (a little sour), chocolate, leather, tobacco. Color is still a fresh dark red so might still age a bit but very good now. Alcohol is a bit too high at 15% but tolerable. Medium bodied. Mutes to a softer wine after 45 minutes
Jan 2023 ripe cherry, chocolate, oak, velvety tannins, but acid is faded. On it's last legs.
