Phenomenal. Every other year I open one of these bottles from 2016 and the evolution keeps impressing me. On the nose, has a character of rainy ancient west coast forest. On the palate, Blackberry, blueberry, with hints of dark cherry. Blended perfectly with a rich, aged, leather. Hints of cedar wood, slightly smoked. Perfectly balanced. Only going to keep getting better over the next few years. — 2 years ago
Happy birthday, Dido! 83 is worth a great bottle and this delivers.
Mature full ruby color. Nose of forest floor, crushed red fruits. Palate feel and in mouth aromas feel more old world, savory, dusty, and with structure below the flesh. — 4 years ago

Higher acidity and lower tannins. Bright red cherry and strawberry notes with a bit of a meaty and earthy base. Quite good! — 2 days ago
