  Similar to other bottles over the past year. Great value. One bottle left.

  I bought this case many years ago on a lark.....and the WA rating. Two bottles now left. While it has never quite lived up to the WA rating, it has still been a great value and has outperformed its price point. I have had 2021 down as the back end of the drink window. I still think that should be the last year.

  I posted a tasting note back in February about a sub par bottle of this one......after a few very good experiences. This bottle was back to what it had been. Fortunately, the February bottle was a one-off.

  This bottle was well off from other tastings. I hope it is a one off situation...….4 bottles left.

  Pure dark color, essentially no visible signs of age at 12 years.
  Deep fruit, starting to show some secondary characteristics.
  Nice combination of modest forward brightness & acidity and brooding backward plum, cherry and blueberry fruit and slight earthiness.
  Apparently at the perfect age now, not near the end of its drinking window (CT currently says it ended 2019).
  Very nice balance overall.
  While a perfect food match would be a grilled steak, I like it on its own, with strongly flavored chicken or with intense cheese.
