October 15, 2021 - At 2 hours decant the texture already started to round out but the fruit was a bit off. Day 2 in the decanter the mouthfeel was excellent but the fruit had a bit more to go. Day 3 the fruit was on but the mouthfeel was minutely diminished. Days 4-6 virtually no degradation. Tonight is Day 7 and this wine owes me nothing else. Excellent.

October 16, 2019 - Tasted over three days...and I am glad I did...as the first and second days the wine featured excessive oak treatment, which overwhelmed all other elements. Had it at 91 points.
The third day revealed a very pretty wine. In no way tightly wound or reticent, but exceptionally enjoyable. Lacking the depth and structure to approach a score in the mid to high 90s. Will hold my other bottle for a while. 92-93. -
