Popped and poured; consistent with previous notes from 2/20/2016. Brought to Lot 2 and paired with Certified Piedmontese flatiron steak and cured short rib over a mushroom risotto. I can confirm that this pairing did not suck. As my opening line suggests, there has been very little evolution over the last 18 months which is okay when one considers how delicious it was back then. On this night, it was a little austere with the first pour but within 20 minutes of just being open, it started to sing. No need to decant; held strong for the two hours we enjoyed it alongside our meal. As a note from Americanstorm suggests, there remains a lot of life left in these. Drink now or Hold.

Still drinking well, but the flavor profile has moved into that generic old wine zone.
