August 22, 2021 - Needs time to open. Dominant tobacco and raisin notes. Still has some tannins, but overall, very approachable after about an hour being open.

May 21, 2021 - Still has some life left, but running out of time. Raisin and leather dominant the profile.

May 27, 2020 - Such a stunning and unexpectedly good wine. Half-bottle after half-bottle continues to impress, even at this age! Gave 10-15 minutes to open up, then dove in. Prevalent raisin and slightly earthy upfront, giving way to robust (and delicious) blue fruits and blueberry pie. So happy with this wine.

August 27, 2016 - I'm a big fan of mature wine and this drank beautifully. It had just enough of everything left to be a real tasty drop.
