Tuesday, June 28, 2022 - Not as great as I hoped but still a very nice wine in its own right. Was most dynamic right out of the bottle. As it got air, the wine became much more mellow, lost energy and the finish got a bit soft. Very tasty but not close to a Family Reserve I had a few nights prior.

Lately, I've been putting the cork back into the bottle until I'm ready to pour the next glass. I'll probably try one of these soon and then do as FB does, and then wait a few more years for the others. Cheers!
