  December 25, 2023 - Beautiful. Still drinking well with mocha, eucalyptus or mint, a solid backbone or dark berries, well integrated tannins, cigar wrapper, and a medium to long finish. Has time left if you want but drinking well now.

  February 16, 2022 - Still bright on mouth feel and color. Mild tannins almost Bordeaux-like. Did decant due to fines. Twenty years baby!

  June 2, 2021 - Wonderfully earthy with a mature nose. Color was a deep garnet all the way to the edges. Deep dried cherry and blackberries with a hint of mocha and eucalyptus. One of my friends said patchouli as well. Dusty but well integrated tannins and a nice medium and smooth finish.

  June 9, 2019 - Fantastic nose of black currents, blackberry, new, charred oak, fresh mint and herbs from the garden. Quite full-bodied and rich as well as dense. This has a precision to the flavors and minerality. Perfectly mature, but with a long life ahead of it, this is truly fantastic! So fresh for being so big. Black olive, currant and berry on the palate. Bright acidity as well as moderate tannins make a perfect foil for Ribeye. Drink now-2025 93
