Very tasty, but needs a lot of time to open up still. Won't open the next ones till 2027-2028

Drank for 2024 anniversary alongside 2015. Very dry still, could have aged longer still. Nice fruit, cherry, berries. Very tasty. Might grab another.

Anniversary bottles. Wedding year vintage drank side by side with ,2016. Great dried fruit, leather, tobacco, black cherry. Dry but not tannic. Well rounded. Very nice.

Spicy nose to it. Which I liked. On first sip, little tannin forward. Lots of great deep red fruit flavors like cherry and blackberry. In love with the smell of this wine. Had an oaky taste to it. For sure cab franc and merlot feel prominent in this.
