  October 25, 2023 - Still kicking after 16 years! Very spring mountain-esque with red and black fruit on the nose and mouth. A bit bigger at 15.1%, but still drinks very much like a Spring Mountain Cabernet.
  
  Tannins have softened to the point of being 3/4 settled or greater, but the freshness of the fruit and the acidity is what always amazes me about Spring Mountain fruit.
  
  Well made? Definitely. Hard to find? Yup. Worth every penny of the $45 I spent!

  January 2, 2021 - Decanted and drank over 3 days. Best on Day 2. Nose became rich and earthy with hint of menthol on the finish... but these faded on Day 3. Palate held up better - dark fruit and tart cherry. Chocolate notes not as present as earlier bottles displayed. Medium long finish with a nice residual touch of tannins. Still solid.

  March 26, 2020 - Still drinking quite well. Very little amber, cork intact and still very dry. Nice wine that is holding its structure even after a dozen years.

  March 10, 2019 - Lost the cork but wine was intact. Took some time to open up. Once it did, floral notes, with subtle fruit. Dry and yet still great wine.
