January 25, 2024 - I forgot that I wanted to keep the last of my 7 bottles for another 5 years. That was good for this bottle now showed clear signs of decline. No comparison with the awesome wine of previous years.

April 16, 2023 - Fully bodied and hedonistic. Still tastes rather young. Will keep my last bottle for at least 5 yrs to see how it will develop.
