October 7, 2023 - Fruit has faded and I’d encourage you to drink up if you have any (with questionable provenance). Should’ve let this sit for an hour in the decanter because it was pretty spoiled upon opening and was cajoled into some solid, aged syrah later on. Perhaps it’s the producer but this is 5-10 years past it’s prime. Not built for the long term.

February 8, 2023 - No longer the beast it was in its early years, the tannin is all resolved and it’s smooth as silk on the palate. Everything is in balance and theres’s a really nice interplay of savory/meaty aromas with the pure black fruit. Great with Peking duck

June 19, 2022 - Good but not great. Deep ruby color. Soft tannins maintains structure. Fruit is fading.

March 23, 2021 - Gorgeous nose of red fruit, bacon, and gaminess. Well integrated tannins with nice acidity with flavors of red fruit, olives, brine, and violets on the palate. Perfectly balanced and interesting throughout the night with a long finish. Outstanding wine and very consistent (bottle #3 within the last year).

February 2, 2021 - Nose was funky on the open, but totally resolved after 2 hours. Classic smooth tobacco. Continue to love the 99s across the board.
