November 7, 2021 - Charleston VI; 11/3/2021-11/7/2021 (Charleston, SC (various locations)): This wine for some reason reminded me of the holidays. I get cranberry and Christmas spice and logs on a fire. It's a very tasty wine.

October 6, 2019 - Last bottle. Opened, decanted and drank immediately. Absolutely delicious. Completely mature with rich, lush fruit and moderate complexity.

July 28, 2019 - I had this wine a couple of nights ago. It was for an event and so I had to double decant it. It was then 2-3 hours before the wine was served. It was way over the hill. I had a couple of more bottles and decided to try another tonight. I opened it, decanted it and immediately poured. It was terrific. So if you've got this wine, drink up!
