November 1, 2020 - Probably well past its prime, but still a very quaffable bottle. The tannins have relaxed, and I'm getting cherry jam, cranberry, and dusty oak. Smooth, but thin.

March 31, 2008 - Second bottle of this wine. The first I had without food and scored 85. I enjoyed the 2nd bottle with meatloaf and it paired well.
