March 27, 2022 - At age 9, this is in a great place. Full body but tannins are mellowed to a perfect elegant level. Dark chocolate, coffee, and black cherry all well integrated. 14.3% alcohol not noticeable. Perfect medium acidity. Great with a NY strip steak.

July 5, 2020 - A beautiful old world style cab. Subdued, but present dark fruit, firm velvet tannins, medium acidity. Mineral, earth, licorice and leather notes on the palate.

February 22, 2019 - Great! Still fairly tannic as I am finding many 2013s are at this age. Nice balance of fruit and wood.
