May 12, 2019 - Pristine bottle. Probably would have guessed mid 2000s based on color and weight. This was still singing with bright cherry and pencil lead. A well stored bottle should be fine to keep

June 29, 2016 - Purchased quite a few on release and forgot I still had one. Certainly holding well but really has not developed much. Still showing ripe black fruits with somewhat stern tannins. It has softened up over the years but is not melding into what I want from a well aged bottle of cabernet blend. More like persists rather than gaining with age.

May 7, 2016 - These wines have never shown well for me despite pristine storage conditions. Not quite past their prime yet showing few signs of what they once were. Every time I open a bottle I hope to see a glimmer of excitement only to find disappointment.
