April 12, 2021 - Plenty of fruit and body left on this one.
Closed at first but opened up and was enjoyable after decanting. -

May 1, 2015 - Very consistent with my 4/13/14 notes. Elegant and lovely profile, with everything resolved. Yet there remains an almost sweet, fruit-forward taste. Kinda cool for a wine that's into its ninth year after harvesting. Absolutely no reason to wait on the last bottle in the cellar. Indeed, perhaps a bit of a concern that the wine could start flattening or dropping off anytime now. So drink last bottle in next six months.

August 3, 2014 - Our last bottle, and, a good one. No flaws. Mild sediment. Mild rim variation. Nice nose of dark florals and berries. No tannin. No acid. Low alcohol. Short to medium finish. Very, very drinkable. Would think it is at peak now.
