  October 16, 2020 - No aroma. Flat, flabby and no structure. Seems significantly past peak with little body, no tannins and very little flavor. If I were to rate this wine today, I would give it an 87.

  July 1, 2019 - Getting to be a bit brown, so maturing nicely. Not forward in the nose, soft tannins. Berry and the tiniest of tobacco at the end.

  August 26, 2018 - Last bottle with the glass stopper rather than the traditional cork closure. Just a beautiful bottle of wine. Has aged like a fine BDX with an understated smoothness to it. Beautiful, classy black fruit, not a big bomb, just classy. Not a velour-like texture, more like smooth as ice in the still of winter texture. The fruit has settled along with the vanilla/oak and the tannins have receded contributing greatly to that smooth feeling. Not an edge in sight. My only hesitation or negative about it, is the acidity seems to be waning so I'm not sure this will last much longer without flattening out. Drink them now if you have them.

  October 8, 2017 - Big, smooth mouthful of dark fruit and vanilla, this was drinkable as soon as the unique glass cork was removed. A fantastic and enjoyable wine, I wish I had another bottle. Seems to me to be right in its drinking window.

  August 27, 2017 - A delightful, mid-weight cab full of black fruit, cassis and a hint of vanilla and chocolate. We decanted the wine for 2 hours, which helped a lot. There was an interesting complexity to the flavor profile.
