  November 28, 2020 - Nose: A bit alcoholic, but overall offer sweet berries and plum . Cocoa and cedar beneath. Palate: massive entry of plum, fig, blackberry and licorice. Sweet fruit is layered with cedar, tobacco and pie spice. Finish: Long and ripe with plum, quince and dark cherry. A lengthy wine with heft in its current state.
  
  Likely close to peak or just past depending on how you like them.

  December 19, 2018 - Very good but not as good as the bottle two years ago. Tannins have resolved and are fully integrated. Notes of plum, cassis, blackberry and a touch of sweetness on the palate.

  April 16, 2018 - Smooth as silk but with a laser straight backbone of tannins - such balance. Lovely
