April 5, 2024 - Decanted for about an hour. Cork didn’t survive opening. Very little sediment. Still good acidity though so plenty of life left. Tannins well integrated. Still plenty of fruit. Glad I finally opened this bottle.

December 31, 2023 - This wine was great with our prime filets on New Years Eve. It is in a perfect place No need to decant. Hold or drink, leaning more towards drink, although it is quite clearly constructed for aging. One note: the cork virtually disintegrated. The wine was unharmed. I have to admit I'm a bit concerned about the other five bottles we have in our cellar. I will just be careful when I open them.

August 6, 2023 - Decanted three hours. Dark dark fruit. Blueberries maybe some black cherry and plums. Tannins still present but not obtrusive. Drinking very well now

April 15, 2023 - Was worried about a semi soft cork but wine is intact. Big wine drinking perfectly now in my opinion. Leather and chocolate notes so says my friend. Poetry never dissappoints.
