Nice wine. Took a bit to fully open. Has a nice medium body. It is very dry. Might be a year or 2 past its peak but drinking nicely.

Holding up very well, although I do believe it’s at a “drink now” phase. Still fruit forward - secondary notes are muted, slightly musty nose but not in an unpleasant way. All in all, quite nice.

Restrained palate, but after a couple of hours of air, opened up and had perfectly integrated tannins, just enough acidity, and secondary flavors of earth with some background fruit. Still could go a few years if the flavor after several hours was any indication

A bit green and herbal, with nice olive notes. Elegant and complex, and although lacking some structure and depth, still very nice.

Took about two hours for this open up, but when it did, good things happened. Not a lot of fruit remained, but did get a few hints of some deep, dark, plumb and blackberry... a very smooth, yet complex wine that was a nice treat for a stay at home for NYE night.

Definitely showing secondary flavors, but still a solid core of cherry and a surprising amount of grip on the finish. Judging by the second night this one doesn't have a ton of time left, but I am pleasantly surprised at how nice it is right now.

Held up quite nicely. Lost a fair amount of fruit, but retained enough to be quite nicely balanced.
