  March 15, 2024 - Drank from a magnum. 2-3 hour decant. Drank fine, but very tight and tasted as young as a 2018 I sampled last fall. Hold this one another 3-5 years, folks, it needs more time. Especially in large format. It will be worth the wait. I was so stupid to open it when I did.

  March 3, 2024 - 3.5 hours decant. Beautiful nose with black fruit, cigar wrapper and a little licorice. Smooth with silky tannins and a long finish. Really hitting is stride. Glad I have two more as this one has years to go.

  July 28, 2023 - Wow, fantastic wine! Drinking great now, but has many years left if you want to hold on to it. Drank over a couple of hours and improved in the decanter.

  July 1, 2023 - Purple/magenta, going strong 3.5 hours in a Zalto. Intoxicating notes of toasted black fruits, blackberry liqueur, scorched cedar, spices, cigar wrapper, freshly roasted coffee beans , crushed pavement and smoke. Very tightly knit, so well put together, ripe tannins on long finish.
  Paired with chicken, naan and first born’s 10th birthday weekend (July 3, 2013) 🍷
