January 21, 2024 - Very pleasant, Violet on the nose, red fruit on the pallet, smooth tannins contributing to a pleasant finish. We found it to be a very good accompaniment to Italian food.

October 29, 2023 - This keeps getting better and perhaps can have a couple/few more years in bottle if stored properly. I opened this bottle an hour+ ahead of pouring. It's well balanced, soft tannins, and fruity on the nose. A lovely wine. Glad I have 2 more bottles of the 2015.
