March 29, 2020 - Browning mostly on the edges, but clear signs of age. The nose was wet cardboard. Too bad, as the taste was very nice. Sour cherries dominated.

June 29, 2019 - Cellared 16 years at 14 degrees. 100 per cent preserved. Pale meniscus. Blackberry over red fruit. So smooth! One continuous leg! Lots if structure left.

June 28, 2019 - Decanted one hour and then drank a day later. The nose is a modest blackberry and tobacco aroma. The palate has a modern style and clearly shows hot vintage characteristic. The wine feels heavy and oaky while retaining good fruit concentration and reasonable balance. Flavors of blackberry, plum, cigar box come through into a moderate four square finish. This will drink fine for another five years but I don’t think it will evolve and gain complexity.

December 18, 2018 - Garnet in color with bricking edges. Nose of dark berries, earth, and tobacco. Tastes of cherries, leather, tar, and tobacco. Very dry. Tertiary flavors outshine the fruit. Pleasant wine just past peak. Drink now and over next few years.
