November 3, 2020 - Drinking very well. Well integrated fruit, dark berry but smooth and silky--not a bomb. Election night. May need additional.

December 29, 2018 - Dark deep berry nose, little spice. Dark inky hue. Beautiful drinking wine-- nicely structured, mellowed, silky, dark berries, spice, great with or without food. Terrific bottle.

January 2, 2015 - Agree with recent comments by others (e.g. soft tannins, plum, etc). Enjoyable, but unremarkable. No need to hold any longer.

September 26, 2014 - I also agree that it is/has peaked. Don't hold it any further--it is ready to drink. Also do not decant--pour and enjoy. Fruit is not as bold as it likely was but still very full of flavor, fruits are more plum and cherry than dark fruits but tannins are very soft.

December 24, 2013 - As others suggested, likely peaked mid-2013. Beginning to fade, but only slightly. Well balanced; still great nose. Nice smooth long finish.
