  March 29, 2024 - Wow, this is very spicey, heavy pepper notes like bell peppers and jalapeños, also leather and cherry mushrooms and moss. Drinking really well, still has decent fruit, nice acidity and resolved tannins.

  January 30, 2023 - highly structured. Nose had a distinctive jalopeno note which was surprising, but not unpleasant. Rich earth, lots of tannin (surprising for its age) and notes of mushroom and pencil lead.

  April 7, 2017 - Not quite as smooth as I expected it to be. Dark old fruits, grass, dust, dirt and smokiness. Some barnyard funk on the nose. Medium body with a short finish. Tannic. To quote VIVT (below), "not dead yet but at its end."
