Perfectly in it’s drinking window! Soft tannins, dark fruit character. Very expressive wine. Smells of dirt, decomposing leaves, blackberry, leather, slight tobacco box. I am so glad I waited to drink this one. If you have this wine in this vintage, now is the time! — 11 days ago

very very light, oaky notes, red fruit, slightly acidic, smooth finish, personally I think it was aged a perfect amount, got better as it airated, I don’t really taste a specific fruit note but it is fruity in general, possible berry notes. paired every well with steak — a month ago
Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, forest floor notes and sweet spices. On the palate ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, tea, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this wine to a long finish. Good now! — 2 months ago
Holding up nicely. Lost some fruitiness but otherwise quite good. — 4 months ago
