November 24, 2022 - Aged Saint Emilion. Not drinking as well as previous bottles or vintages but still nicely aged wine with substance still left intact.

October 26, 2020 - I bought this randomly at K&L as they had a case out by the counter (back in March before COVID shutdown!). It was interesting to have an older wine like this but not something I would seek out again.

October 10, 2019 - PnP, this wine is done. Nothing remarkable to the nose. Upon opening had some lingering smoke to the palate that quickly dissipated. Very little tannic structure left. Overall, quite flat. Not unpleasant, but I will move in to something more interesting before finishing this bottle.
