89 Points
Wednesday, January 17, 2024 - I've had two of our three bottles over the past year, and a similar, disappointing experience with both. Poured through an aerator into a decanter, but tannin and acid overpowered the dark fruits and spices. No major improvement even after an hour or two. 89 points.
Quite surprised that folks say the drinking window of this opened in 2020. I'd give this at least another year or two before opening a bottle. But better yet, another five. That's when I hope to open our final one. Assuming this truly does come toigether, it should have a pretty long life ahead.
