March 25, 2021 - Very nice. Round, full-bodied, nicely balanced. Glad I held this for a while

October 9, 2018 - Oak has diminished, drastically, but not sure this is improving with age. Still no floral notes on nose; fruit forward, with lots of black fruits, but very heavy mouthfeel and somewhat 1 dimensional

November 6, 2017 - Similar notes to 2017: no hints of fading flavors or color, oak still a bit more than I like; wait another 2-3 years before trying again, in hopes oak will continue to fade

February 1, 2016 - Big wine! Chewy and dense still, really good structure and black ripe fruits that have soften a little with age. Powerful finish, yet doesn't linger as long as I thought it would. Great petit verdot that is in its prime now.
