February 12, 2023 - Another lost in my cellar bottle that was not on my CT inventory! My last previous bottle of this vintage/cuvee was 2018, and it is still alive and kicking. I brought this to a Super Bowl party and it was served along with Beef Chili. Its still a big wine, just not as big as it was in 2011, with a long finish. A real treat!

August 1, 2020 - Holding up well, dry-port deep dark dusty dried fruit nose, good earthy dry port palate, serve at cellar temp 55-60F or so as it's 'hot'... Nice at cellar temp.

January 11, 2019 - Opened and poured. Reticent nose....like a rattlesnake, this one seems a bit hostile.....leathery bitterish flavor profile....not giving much in the nose....with air it gets a little better, but this one is a tad hard to really enjoy. Thinnish, watery, yet potent. Perhaps over the hill, but, all good wines should be able to age well.
