November 24, 2022 - this bottle (stored in a passive cellar) has aged well and past expectations; good, albeit a bit soft fruit, mostly resolved tannins; nice balance; just right with thanksgiving meal.

June 1, 2018 - The bottle was brought to a rib BBQ. While it is a great wine, it is past prime time. Not bad, but fruit is gone. Taste is vanilla and fig. Still smooth with a long finish and low acidity.

November 22, 2017 - Inky dark, no bricking, some taut fruit and dustiness but a tad of almost a reduced / corky note. Hmmm...

February 28, 2012 - Very odd. No bricking at all. A very dark colour (very thick glass making up this bottle). Artificial cork and not many oxidative notes BUT: fruit's dead. Past it, but an interesting demonstration of a wine that is young in some way but too old in others.
