  April 13, 2023 - Wonderful wine. Absolutely incredible nose. Smoky, leathery. Deep complex in the mouth. Still a lot of tannin so coud probably age for several more years.

  June 10, 2022 - Austere, little fruit left, but with a very strong back end featuring cedar, tobacco leaf, mint, coffee grounds, and earth. The earthy finish lingers for a good long while. I can see this as being a very divisive wine at this point, since the lack of fruit on the front end could be off-putting to some. Yet it still has those nice notes on the back end for those that prefer older wines.

  April 1, 2022 - This is obviously reaching the last leg of its journey but very drinkable and certainly not dead. Opened 30 minutes before consumption and drank out aged Bordeaux glasses over a 3 hour period.
  
  Not surprisingly - full of tertiary characteristics - cedar, wood, tobacco and vanilla but some fruits were still very much there. The Cabernet Franc was very detectable (surprisingly) on the finish. Tannins were fine and all in all, this bottle was pretty balanced. It did fade after 2 hours so I would not linger around too long.
  
  It was a privilege to experience it.
  
  Drink now.
