Just hitting its stride. Rich nose, lush black cherries on the palate, silky tannins. Still has a long time left. — 4 months ago

Still holding. Showing beautifully. Great fruit. Tannins are calmer and more lush. Still has another 5-10. — a month ago

Light and lovely. Great balance and just the right amount of spice. — 6 months ago
26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins. — a year ago
Took about 2 hours to open. Dark & dried cherries. Acid still nice and firm. Tannins still going strong but clearly softer and more fine grained. Feels somewhat unbalanced - good acid, good tannin, not enough fruit. May have missed the optimal window. Still very enjoyable. Only a touch of Brett. — 3 months ago

Slow to open, but after a couple hours it really started to sing. Slightly tired, loads of tertiary character (duh), fruit surprisingly good at this stage. Over delivered on expectations. — 4 months ago
Beautiful fruit, nuanced, very nice. Only ding is that it is a bit thin late-mid through the finish. — 7 months ago

Tannins have settled down. Still super jammy. Oak still a major presence. Hot finish. PV plays an oversized roll. Could easily age another 10. — 10 days ago
