  November 12, 2020 - Deep garnet and color with slight breaking edges. Nose of cherries, vanilla, and hence of tobacco. Lovely taste of being cherries, milk chocolate, leather, tar. and a rustic quality. Resolve tannins, bright fruit, and complementary acidity. A lovely wine drinking well and then it’s prime. Drink now and over the next 3 to 5 years.

  May 25, 2019 - Rich, delicious and mouth coating flavors, with pencil lead, dark fruit, spice and mineral flavors. Really drinking well.

  October 5, 2018 - This was in full bloom. Lots of ripe black fruit, tannins were integrated, so it had nice complexity with the fruit dominating.

  September 16, 2018 - In my tasting note from 2009 I stated this needed more time. In my last tasting note in 2017 I said, 'Its time!" Tonight, this wine has matured and improved with further aging and was better still, consistent with my recent tasting back in May of this year when I wrote below.
  
  "Much better, smoother and more approachable than last tasting five years ago when I said it needs more time. Its time! Dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, smooth polished forward aromatic black currant and black berry fruits give way to hint of nicely integrated oak turning to tones of minerality, black cherry and dark mocha chocolate with hints of anise and tobacco."
  
  We drank half the bottle with dinner last night, and it was even better today with grilled tenderloin for our Sunday afternoon dinner! Its showing elegance and finesse and smooth polished texture with velvety tannins on the long finish. This is definitely as its apex in its fourteenth year!
