February 18, 2021 - Still drinking perfectly in my opinion. Wine has been well cellared since 2012.

March 23, 2020 - Drank over the better part of 3 hours. Nose of blackberry and raspberry with wood and a slight hint of soy sauce. Similar flavors, minus the soy sauce but add pepper. Soft tannins and nice acid on the finish.
