October 13, 2019 - Opened together with 2007 as a comparason. 2008 was a good wine, but clearly not as well rounded as 2007.

July 1, 2019 - Very much like the bottle we opened in 2018. See notes. A lovely wine overall and still as good as before.

April 29, 2018 - Nose is bright and grassy and floral. Palate has dark, smoky juice along with bracing acidity. Some spice and tannic hit to round it off.

June 3, 2017 - Even better than before. Nose has gotten more complex over time. Now has significant floral notes as well as the grassy quality. Palate has some dark, smoky juice along with the minerality. Some spice and tannic note at the end.
