January 1, 2017 - Last of 9 bottles. I wish I'd saved a few more for later.

June 9, 2016 - This has really repaid aging for a few years, developing complexity and depth. Blackberry fruit and notes of violets, vanilla, leather and herbs with just a hint of chocolate. Great depth of color and full seductive body.

May 12, 2015 - Please see technical notes on 7-15-12 and 9-2-12. This wine has evolved beautifully. Very much a Left Bank Bordeaux-style cabernet sauvignon. Drinking well now, but no need to rush.
