February 13, 2024 - At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, Mass.: Tasted blind. Some browning. Smells older, some leafiness, balsam, cedar. High acidity, high tannin, lighter body than expected. So though it smells like an old wine, it tastes like a very young wine.

April 14, 2021 - Very good; a PnP that improved over the 90 minutes it was open. Very floral, showing just the first sign of age at the rim. Nice lift/energy, with the med>medium+ body showing elegance, and depth of fruit. I was not expecting this to be as nice as it was - the elegance kept improving through the final drop. Drink now, with some air, or thru 2028. Held since release. highly recommended

October 6, 2019 - CT drinking range said 2012 through 2020 - NOT! This wine is still a youngster! We decanted before our meal and it continued to open and evolve throughout- toward the end of the meal it’s very clear it had a lot farther to go.
Great acid, tight tannins with violets and orange on the nose that grew as it opened up. Good fruit, earth, cherry and spice on the palate. Medium to long smooth finish after an hour and a half in decanter.
This wine has a lot of life left - glad I have more! -

April 6, 2019 - Hit its peak now, with a round and lush fruit note (after two hours and double decant), starting to give that slightly sweet acrid note of an aged barolo, and with a medium long finish.

December 24, 2018 - I honestly think I should have left this for another decade. Not tight, but a bit austere, and the tannins have only started to recede to reveal complex fruits and undernotes. Oh well.
