Still holding its own at two decades plus two years, this is certainly reached its prime and will not improve further with aging but was not showing any diminution from age, perhaps due to large format bottle, which tends to age better.
Dark garnet purple colored, medium to full bodied, modest structure, black berry fruits, notes of cassis, black tea, leather and hints of creosote on a moderate finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2022/07/family-dinner-features-broad-diverse.html

As crazy as Dave can be, he is making great wines. This has been good before, but keeps getting better. Have a few left and I'm going to save them a little longer and see how they "grow".

This wine is full of fruit, already soft on the palet, but finishes with some tanin and long. I love their wines. Can drink now or hold another 10 years.

Excellent. Aged well and will continue to, but do believe it is drinking at a fine level right now.
