January 1, 2024 - The ratings are right. Wonderful smooth ready. Give it some air. I am finding Paso 16’s to be very approachable right now. Time not running out nor any decline but most are impressing

September 3, 2023 - Ripe and robust. Deep vibrant purple and intense spice and dark fruited aromas. Many years ahead.

August 12, 2023 - 3 hour decant (it needed it); Massive wine full of rich, black fruit, tannin, tobacco, iodine, bacon fat, roasted beef, and oak. Acidity cuts through the fruit nicely, and the finish is long and palate-coating. Amazing wine! High abv but you don't really notice it in the aroma or taste. Might have noticed it the next morning however. Still just a baby at 7 years old, so drink or hold at this point. Will drink nicely well into the 2030s.
