September 10, 2023 - More approachable yet still with plenty of life. The funky ripe Merlot from this vintage makes this a challenging food red wine. Still a lamb or beef pairing.

August 11, 2022 - Got this from a friend and was worried that it was past it’s drinking window based on CellarTracker rewiews. Was pleasantly surprised! Decanted for 2 hours. Every sip seemed to improve! The overwhelming taste was the old vine earthiness which over shadowed the dark fruit . . . but in a good way. Definitely not for everyone but, if you like earthy wines, this one still holds up!

December 28, 2021 - Taste profile hasn't changed much in 4 years. A little more mellow and food friendly, but the tannins still appear to be outliving the fruit. Drying tannins and not nearly as charming as the 2000 which i still have a few bottles. Recommend drinking with beef or lamb. A difficult vintage.
