September 10, 2021 - What a great wine with which to finish the night. Dusty chocolates and plums. Excellent. Very well balanced - no harshness at all. Just luscious with dessert!
CT window suggests it should be past its prime. It is still singing! -

February 22, 2021 - Ripe raspberry up front on medium long palate with refined tannins. Still is a sweet spot.

December 1, 2019 - A bit one dimensional, but good fruit and dusty Rutherford tannins. Wouldn't wait much longer.

June 1, 2019 - The bottle was stained inside. Little sediment. Dusty, intense up front, and balanced. It's all still there but I feel it is fading.
