June 16, 2020 - This is in its prime drinking window and there really is no upside to aging this further.

May 14, 2017 - On the nose- Some solid dark fruits, black olives, forest floor, wet stones, some cedar notes
On the palate- Dark fruits mixed with black olives, forest floor and wet stones mixed with cedar notes lead to a nice medium finish, I would say this wine is at its drinking window and I would not age it much longer its a pretty solid effort for the price point -
