May 29, 2023 - Faded, fragile glory of old Cabernet Franc, ie green pepper forever, by a true iconoclast. This is a lovely to experience without necessarily being a wine I love. Just few years too old and fragile

January 16, 2016 - Dinner in Orlando (Robert's House): A lovely wine that might be 3-5 years past its prime. It had a lot of tea and herbs on the palate with some cranberries and cherries. The fruit seemed really dried out, so it led me to think that it was somewhat advanced.

October 31, 2015 - Generous gift brought over to a dinner party. This impressed with an initial nose of sweet concentrated fruity strawberry but fresh poise, some bell
pepper, drying tannins which are rounding off...very good. It seemed to expand and gain a layer with air. -
