March 31, 2024 - Final bottle from half case. Drinking nicely in tertiary phase. No rush and no reason to wait. Nice performer for the price.

March 17, 2024 - Dark fruit, black cherry and licorice on the palate. Needs a decant to coax out the nuances.

December 8, 2023 - Well advanced in its tertiary development. Mushrooms and barnyard complement healthy remaining fruit. This wine has performed well over the years. Will drink my final bottle soon.
