It became increasingly hard to get (last time I checked, it was only available to club members), and I had experienced extreme bottle variation, which may actually be due to multiple peaks and valleys as it ages. When you open the right bottle at the right time, it's a borderline religious experience. Otherwise, it's "meh". I have no idea whether or not its quality has declined in more recent vintages.

Owen Roe website description says its one of there best however cellartracker doesn't have any tasting notes for the past few vintages. Wondering if Owen Roe is as good as ut used to be or if they have fallen off a bit and nobody is drinking them now. In line to pickup a case of the 2016 DuBrul but wondering if maybe i shouldn't.

Both of those seemed to be approaching their peaks. They both benefit from cellar time, but I think the Anderson's is the more ageworthy of the two.
