March 26, 2024 - This has been stored properly since release. I decanted this for about 30 minutes which was about right and it held up for a few hours thereafter without fading the least bit. This is a very subdued, fully resolved, moderately complex wine in either its absolute peak or just beginning its slow decline. I found this to be in a perfect spot for me. This paired well with Neopolitan pizza. This is best consumed near term.

November 18, 2020 - Last tasted in Dec 2016- I gave this a 3 hour decant- nice fruit that is still slightly disjointed and certainly not polished. Overall an enjoyable wine that is in or near its prime and unlikely to improve. Revisit 2024

December 10, 2016 - Still needs a good three hour decant. Was at its best around hour 4. Pure fruit, big bodied, average balance. In prime and will hold for another 10 years.
