Rated this two years ago…with a couple more years of age, it’s really come together. Smooth.

Still needs some age. Darker than you’d expect.

Decanted. Definitely Bordeaux on the nose at first. After about 30 minutes it settles in. Cherry, cedar and thyme with a medium finish. Nice wine. SS

Bordeaux redeaux. Prime rib, steakhouse sides, rich structured acidity.

2018 vintage. A bit more structure than expected. A pleasant surprise.

Barnyard, not much fruit until the 2nd day, but very delicious

2004 vintage - may have been slightly past its prime, but opened up well after decanting.
