  April 7, 2022 - Nothing to dislike. A little soft on the niose, but better on the palate and finish. Solid overall.

  September 14, 2021 - Consistent with prior bottles, although not quite as prominent - this time, the green notes were present, but muted on the nose, and the finish was somewhat astringent. Passed around to a group, with similar results from each person. Glad this is my last bottle from this vintage.

  April 13, 2019 - Opened a bit tannic, then settled down to a lovely bottle - medium fruit, hints of cherry, medium body. No reason to hold any longer if you have one.

  July 11, 2018 - About 4 1/2 years since my last bottle. Still can’t shake the green bell pepper. Not quite as noticeable at last time, but still there. I even asked others to smell/taste, and they noticed it as well. There may be a place for such a wine, but it doesn’t work for me. Will check back in five years for my final bottle.

  September 9, 2016 - Berry and stone fruit, but with a lighter feel and less complex than other vintages. Still decent structure and tannic backbone. Hint of vanilla on the finish. Did not detect the 'green' characteristics that some have reported. Perhaps this vintage has taken a bit longer to develop.
