  December 14, 2023 - This bottle which was opened for regular wine group and tasted blind. Slight corked note that seemed to almost blow off after a couple hours. Not the best bottle but you could tell it was good wine none the less.

  July 29, 2022 - A beautiful wine, as it should be for this price point. Complex and evolving, a nice splurge.

  February 16, 2022 - I have read and heard so much praise for this wine but this bottle had cork taint. It smelled musty and was just disappointing on the palate. I have another bottle of this vintage and am really hoping it’s a good bottle.

  November 27, 2021 - Hold. Beautiful wine but didn’t seem fully developed. I did get the “crushed walnut” which is nice.
