July 24, 2019 - 4 or 4.5 out of 5. Super smooth, Audrey & Breta loved, and I really liked.

March 17, 2018 - A delight. No decant needed, but I'd say this is still on the early side of maturity. Full-volume and yet not out of balance. Has a great, long, friendly length. Still tannins, but they're sweet. No one would ever confuse this for a Pauillac but you'll get just as much pleasure from it.

June 2, 2017 - No change from prior tastings. Does not need a long decant. In a very good drink window right now.
