March 31, 2024 - Fantastic! Primary fruits heading into middle age. Well integrated and the tannins dropped. On PnP.

April 24, 2020 - Popped and poured. This is a solid red wine. The last glass and the end of the bottle contain some decent sediment, so decanting seems worthwhile. On the nose, I get cherries, fruit punch, menthol, and a touch of heat. In the mouth, this is rich and full, with dark, concentrated fruit flavors that pull through on the finish. Overall, this is a loaded and tasty wine, but is still slightly hot. I would drink up. Unsurprisingly, this full bottle was bottle than the last 1/2 bottle I had a while ago. 90 points.
