June 1, 2023 - some bricking; lovely red fruit; pride always does a good job with the oak; years since my last bottle of this and it is now mature, a bit softer, modest complexity; time to drink up (stored in a passive basement cellar)

February 6, 2019 - Pop and pour. Excellent out of the bottle, but the last glass 3 hours later was even better. Resolved tannins, great mature fruit, very smooth and balanced. If I had another bottle, I'd drink it within the next year and would decant for at least an hour.

June 6, 2017 - Very pleased with this Merlot!! Great color and legs. Mild nose of subtle fruit, but lots of fruit on the palate. Mild tannins and a very nice lingering finish. Still very drinkable. Wish I had more!

October 7, 2016 - Really pretty and clean with no sediment. Fruit was fully mature but maintained freshness after 10 years.

March 12, 2016 - Did not age well. Tasted like it was overdone in the production.
