  May 5, 2023 - At this point in time.....smooooooth...like butter...but no butter. This isn't an over oaked american chardonnay for god's sake.
  
  It was still fantastic, but definitely time to drink. Had it with burgers...and with or without the food it was delicious. But tannins are definitely gone.

  March 5, 2017 - Decanted for about an hour. Nose of dried cherry and raspberry. Color still great considering bottle age. Sediment on cork, light sediment in bottle. Palate definitely shows resolved tannins with a little gritty on the mid palate of coffee and dried red fruits. Finishes a little vegetal. Still had some life, left but definitely running out of gas. Still very drinkable.
