December 13, 2020 - Popped and poured - initially fairly closed but continued to open up and evolve over a few hours. Well integrated and balanced dusty fruits. Lovely drinking. Last bottle from the dozen. Great value purchase.

June 26, 2020 - Still quite primary but starting to show some development. Length and balance impeccable. Terrific value. Only one left from a dozen and drinking well now but could probably go another 5 years easy.

April 12, 2020 - Great blend at it's peak (for me). Perfect with roast lamb. Mint may be distracting on its own but just magic with the meal. Love the punch on the tannin.

January 8, 2019 - In a really lovely place right now. The nose is all cured meats, but the palate is a combo of mulberries and milk chocolate. Will likely hold for a few years yet, but delicious right now too.

October 14, 2018 - This was better than the last bottle. Fresher fruit giving it more life and feeling a bit more youthful. Plums, blackberries, mocha and herbs. The signature gravelly tannins are still there. From the first bottle I thought it was on the downhill but this one would suggest it’s still going up.
