January 11, 2023 - very smooth, with great purity of fruit. crushed raspberries galore. In its window and not acting tired but I see no reason to hold, at least in 750cc

March 14, 2020 - From magnum. Not quite as dried out as tasters describe below. Good, was overshadowed by 2005 palmer and 2001 Togni in magnum, as well as white burgundies. Disappointing and not worth the $$$.
