December 9, 2023 - Annual Caroling & Chili Party (R&D's): Magnum, double decanted off its sediment an hour before the event. Slight bricking. Mature red berry fruit, a touch plummy, with spice, white pepper and boysenberry tones. Picks up a subtle herbal element as it breathes. Balanced, with a nice finish. At peak in this format.

May 1, 2022 - Not decanted. This is on the downhill slide, which surprised me a bit. Slightly prune-like edge to the nose, but it didn't show on the palate. Ripe dark fruits and some cedar. The oak actually still showed quite a bit. On day two, a glass showed some eucalyptus notes. Good, not amazing. Drink now.
