May 14, 2022 - Unfortunately heat damaged. Frustratingly, just undamaged enough for me to taste how good it would have been in good condition.

May 4, 2022 - Big fan of BPR. Have been eyeing this one on the wine list for about a year (Soby’s in Greenville SC). Finally took a chance. Beautifully preserved. No signs of age damage. Seems more fruity than more recent vintages. After decanting, improved with time. An excellent bottle.

May 1, 2022 - Absolutely delicious. Fruity, with black currant and cherries. Still delicious well beyond the CellarTracker dates.

January 24, 2022 - Beautiful mellow cab. Notes of plum and luscious cherries on the nose. Palate is mellowing red fruit but very clearly a cab. Yum.
