  June 11, 2023 - Drinking very well now but I wouldn't hold it much longer. I did not decant.

  January 29, 2022 - Inky dark color, medium plus body with leather, wood and muted dark fruits on the nose and palate. Earthy and herbal undertones gave a tasty and interesting complexity. Smooth tannins, well balanced and nicely integrated at this point. It had a long, dry, slightly chewy and enjoyable finish. Drank over 3 days without much change in taste or aroma.

  September 23, 2019 - This is in a good place currently and is drinking very nicely. Similar to my experience back n 2016, except this is showing slightly better balance and overall integration. Decanted on day 1, and enjoyed over three days without it ever losing its stride. Very good and should easily cellar another five plus years.

  July 9, 2018 - Vastly improved over previous bottles. Nothing profound but no overwhelming green/musty-ness. Just a fairly rich and pleasant cab. Time has worked wonders here.

  December 23, 2017 - This was a surprisingly good wine. Medium bodied, nice floral bouquet, moderately earthy notes with dark berries. It drinks smoothly with a medium finish. This is a tough to find wine, but I will look for more.
