March 19, 2021 - Just over top : original potential shows, but nose rather weak; some cardboard... still plum red, flat. Rm

June 6, 2020 - Opened 60 minutes before; very dark red, ripe plum, light cedar, some sweet, nice acidity for length and freshness, surprisingly heavy; pleasant with lots if character.
