  February 20, 2017 - No detailed notes taken, but my well-stored bottle had a surprising amount of pleasure left to give. Fully mature, of course, with notes mostly in the savory realm -- some cherry, but mostly earth and tobacco, with a nice sense of balance. Drink up, but if your bottle's in good shape you can look forward to doing so.

  April 23, 2016 - Wine is definitely on the down side. Any tannin left blew off quickly, not a lot of fruit left but drinkable.
