September 10, 2023 - Drunk over dinner hence short note but this was magnificent. Almost Musar levels of spicy hedonism and only 12.5% ABV. Probably at its peak but certainly not declining.

June 20, 2023 - Last of six auction bottles. Fill into the neck, cork only soaked on the end. Plenty of fruit, but it was a raisiny mess (same as bottle five). Cooked, I guess. Too bad. 12.8% ABV (flawed)

December 31, 2022 - Fourth of six auction bottles with one previous owner and base neck fills. Cork soaked half an inch in one spot. Best bottle yet. Nose evenly divided between elegant undergrowth and tobacco leaf notes and aged black cherry with the same on the well concentrated, silky palate. Little to no unresolved tannins in evidence. Perfect acidity. A real joy to ring in the new year with. 12.8% ABV (great; distinctly above average; distinguished/****/17.5/93)

December 28, 2022 - Last bottle of a case that never disappointed. Well aged, fully developed, now in its late drinking window. Charming, sweet aromas, leather, caramel, cigar box, plum, pencil. Drink now.
