February 18, 2016 - Worst of the bottles I've had over the past 3 years. Clearly a decade past its peak. Others have been better.

December 2, 2015 - Age and dark color led to low expectations, but this was tasty and highly drinkable for 30+ minutes, then gradually faded. Surprising level of acidity certainly helped retain life.

September 15, 2014 - Fresher and better vs another bottle from a few months ago, showing mature ripe orchard fruit with subtle spice. Very enjoyable over the course of 75-90 minutes.

July 6, 2014 - Much like another bottle from this case from last summer, the color was dark and my expectations quite low. Started lush, forward and nicely mature and charming, but this dropped off precipitously after 20 minutes.

July 5, 2014 - Waited too long. Color almost resembles a rose. Pretty soft. If you have any left, drink me now as it may already be too late.
