Drank at OTBN 2023. Remarkably consistent with earlier tasting notes and aligned with my recollections for this label, even though they were ten years apart. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2023/02/otbn-open-that-bottle-night-2023.html

Showing a hint of age but still life left in this eighteen year old - dark garnet color, medium-full bodied, hints of oak accent spicy forward black cherry, berry, and plum fruits and cedar with hint of leather, cigar box and vanilla with well-integrated tannins on a long complex finish.

Only starting to show a hint of age but still life left in this sixteen year old - dark garnet color, medium-full bodied, oak predominates the taste accented by spicy black cherry, berry, plum and cedar with hint of leather, cigar box and vanilla with well-integrated tannins on a long complex finish.
