May 11, 2023 - I had to adjust expectations for this. I was expecting it to be fresher at this age, but it was quite mature. Drank like a 2007, delicious and drink now. Dark fruit on a soft core.

May 28, 2021 - Boysenberry and cedar nose, palette of red fruits, raspberries, cassis, tobacco, and moss. Tannins are firm but smooth. It could go longer. Excellent wine. Reminds me more of a high end pinot noir than a Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
