September 1, 2019 - Deep ruby with garnet rim. Clean nose of medium plus intensity. Aromas of toast, cedar, meat, fruit preserves, wet stone. Fully developed wine. Dry, medium plus acidity, medium tannins, medium plus body, medium alcohol, pronounced flavors of umami, cooked black fruit, bitter chocolate, cured meat. Finish is medium minus. Very good wine, in the perfect place now. Can be aged further, but I doubt will be much better.

April 12, 2019 - Unfortunately well past its prime, but still drinkable - the Cherry and dark fruit notes have gone well past ripe and almost have a "rotten-sweet" characteristic to them, the underlying pepper/dusty Earth combo is more forward than a traditional Bordeaux would age with.
It's still a good wine, just wish I'd have opened it a year or more ago -

November 24, 2018 - Great color, nose a bit dusty and past its prime. Drink now. I like the story most of all with this wine.
