  November 24, 2021 - Popped and poured.
  
  Brick red color.Mushrooms, earth and loam on the nose. Fruit is gone but tons of secondary and tertiary flavors. Graphite, forest floor. This is far more interesting than one might expect. Actually kinda enjoyable.

  January 24, 2021 - Popped and poured. Dark purple color, raisiny nose. Amazing depth of flavor for a 28 year old California merlot! Overripe notes of raisin, forest, ash and cedar pencil.

  December 24, 2020 - Found a few bottles stashed in a corner, and gave one a try with low expectations. Decanted for an hour.
  Bricked edges. Dried fig nose. Fruit is mostly gone, leaving herbal notes: forest floor, leather roast meat. Surprisingly good in a subdued, aged way.
