Saturday, August 29, 2020 - Fabulous and in a wonderful spot. A hint of green pepper, which seems to be a hallmark of this winery, as I have picked it up on other vintages also. Mid bodied, a little light on mid palate but very satisfying. I dont think it is going to improve any more, but I wouldn't anticipate any sharp decline so should be plenty of years left in it.
