  April 22, 2020 - Red fruit (cherry) and spice on the palate. Smooth finish. The tannins are very smooth. Unfortunately, I don't think this wine has much life left in it.

  October 21, 2019 - 3/4 stained cork on 1/2 of its side, but the stiff bark held up on pull. This shows oxidative scents of salami meats, white-flowers/honey and maybe just a bit of cherry. This was juicy and fresh on the entry turning dry and more astringent into the lengthy, tobacco and burnt toast finish. The mouthfeel is silky and refined at this late stage. Nice acidity. Loads of dusty, fully integrated tannins paint the mouth and teeth with each sip. This bottle probably peaked some years back, but it had the structure and balance to hold on to its hilt into these geriatric years. It should make a fine food wine tonight, and, I hope, for the next couple of days.
