January 21, 2020 - Well the window was a small one and it’s about closed. This bottle started sour and opened a bit over an hour with decant. Food nearly saved it and certainly enhanced whatever fruit is left, calling out vestiges if it’s core. But the thrill is gone

January 12, 2018 - Interesting to read the older tasting notes of this wine. I find this wine to have evolved very nicely from what others a few years ago so as blase and "in decline". THe nose is first rate with strong hints of East Indian spice. Very balanced with nice body en bouche and fine food accompaniment. Very enjoyable for another year at least
