    June 12, 2023 - touch of pepper of course, bit fruity - plum but delicious. Still has time.

    May 10, 2023 - I am not a fan of the '11's but this one was quite good. Drink or hold.

    April 18, 2022 - What a luxurious drink! I expected something lighter bodied and more crisp given the less optimal vintage, but this was the exact opposite. Super rich, almost choco dusted blackberry jam. It kept the balance, it was super good, just different than I expected
