May 24, 2021 - Decade+ since i last tasted and this is still rich and concentrated with black cherry and plum that are maturing gracefully with sweet spice, espresso, mint and dark chocolate. Some earth and tannic notes on finish are a bit rustic, but otherwise nicely charming. Very good now, probably slightly better 2-5 years back.

March 31, 2020 - Second bottle after another was severely corked. Bone try to the point of painful austerity. Not sure if my palate has just changed, or the wine is getting old, but while I'm sure it's well made, it was a struggle to enjoy. The wife didn't want her glass. I was more charitable, but didn't finish the bottle.

October 14, 2018 - Blackberries, plums, chocolate, and coffee in the nose. Black cherries, blackberries, and coffee in the flavor. Rich wine, medium to full bodied, well balanced, and a medium to long finish.
