December 9, 2021 - Bought recently. Bottle in very good condition. Medium gold. Baked apple, apricot, caramel, almond paste, nuts, and spices, with medium-level acidity and good length. Medium to full, with a creamy mouthfeel and a lightly bitter finish. Still feels a little rough and rustic, apparently from oak tannin. Still enjoyable on day three. A few years past its peak, but still enjoyable, and even still drinkable on day three. Drink up. 89(-)
