December 8, 2022 - Still Holding up nicely. Nice violet purple color with no real evidence of aged color. Violets and Leather nose as well as on the palate. Medium finish. Tannins light but still present. Drinking nice right now.

August 11, 2018 - Drinking very good right now and life ahead it seems. Black fruit solid with a fantastic body feel. We had it with steaks.
