May 27, 2021 - PnP, needed 15-20min to open up. Not much of a nose initially. Still has good fruit and a solid backbone. Medium sediment towards the end. Great with a pizza dinner.
This could easily go another 3-5 years. -

May 18, 2020 - Still big and powerful with several tasters saying it should be aged further (but the general consensus was that it was totally ready). Dark blue fruits, savory, nice minerality. Great aeromatics, long finish.

April 29, 2018 - This was tremendous. Not a sign of its age. Still have a few years of peak on these.
American oak provided a bit of something different, but otherwise this was masculine Cote Rotie for days. -

December 30, 2017 - Just not a great wime. Still showing a lot of wood and not much going on fruit wise. Clearly an off year.
