Anyone who said to drink by 2016 was missing out. Great structure, bright fruit. Not giant levels of depth, but still singing. — 7 years ago

Opened it about an hour before drinking, and that made all the difference. Lovely, but not as complex as some Old Vines. I suspect 2012 didn’t quite have all the magic. — 7 years ago

Perfectly fine with the pizza. Neither too fruity/jammy nor too earthy/brambly. BBQ/grill/food ready. — 7 years ago

Bold and youthful at the winery. Now, mellow and easy-drinking. Could still be vibrant and complex through to end of 2019 — 7 years ago
