November 18, 2016 - Still drinking great. A little tight when first opened, two hour decant really smoothed it out. This blend is still on the uphill side of life, won't peak for another two or three years at least.

March 15, 2015 - Fantastic Bordeaux blend. 45 cab, 23 merlot, 17 malbec, 13 franc, 2
PV. A little short on the finish but everything else is top notch. Won't peak for at least five years. Give it lots of air time for now.
