Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ with the. Possibility of being ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ given some time for integration. Open the wine yesterday and let it slowly oxidized for five hours and it was still tight. Drinking significantly better on day two. Beautiful floral nose. Dark BlackBerry and Tannins are still alive and kicking and felt on the back pallet. I brought two with me this weekend but will definitely only open one. Not worth opening the other at this time. Too much of a battle to enjoy the wine at this time. I truly enjoy drinking some wine young and then drinking them as they evolve. I would say this is not the case for this one. Truly let it sleep for at least five years. I only bought a three pack so leaving to the other two alone for five years shouldn't be a problem!!!
Unless David Lentine comes over and says crack open a bad ass wine!
