January 5, 2022 - This still has a fair amount of mildly harsh tannins. The fruit is well aged and mostly gone. Mild to moderate acidity. It is hard to say if additional aging will smooth this out to the degree that the other elements will not suffer. It is a gamble to hold until 2025.

April 16, 2020 - Clear, slightly pale garnet with significant rim browning. Anise, white pepper , rhubarb. Medium to low acids, low tannins. Cinnamon. Medium to long balanced finish.

April 8, 2020 - My previous bottle opened in late 2018 seemed slightly passed its prime, but the one opened tonight is perfect. Big fruit, but balanced.

September 7, 2019 - For my tastes, this could use more time. Primary and intense with loads of ripe fruit and spices winding through from beginning to end.
Interesting and fun to be drinking this in Paris. And that'd be France, not Texas.1 person found this helpful Comment
