  November 27, 2023 - Past its prime but you could still tell the quality was there. Lots of sediment but good earthy tones with some fruit underneath still

  February 27, 2023 - Exceed expectations based on the notes in CT. Quite dark, red fruit, cedar, earth on the nose. Fresh, red and dark fruit, just a slight touch of alcohol warmth, and pretty long and tannic finish. Enjoyed with a beef and red wine stew.

  July 19, 2021 - Not good. Either I stored it beyond its drinking window or it was never that good. Judging from the other comments, it was never great.

  April 2, 2020 - Nose:
  nice, woods, tannin vanilla (4/2020)
  'More fruit, lots of berry and cherry, wood. (1/2108)
  'a little closed on the nose, some fruit, cedar (8/2013)
  
  
  Palate:
  Cherry, wood, leather, some vanilla, nice floral note, a bit hot, still tannic, but not unbalanced. Could have aged even longer, but I think you would start to lose the fruit. (4/2020)
  'Cherry still very strong, some wood and vanilla, but not very strong. A nice floral note, violets, still tight tannins and young fruit could keep ageing (1/2018)
  'cherry, cedar, a bit of vanilla, still a little young now (8/2013)

  November 7, 2018 - Pretty meh. Decent structure, but mediocre fruit. Disappointing given the price & hype.
