2019 Oliver Winery Chambourcin Creekbend
Community Tasting Note
Dravin Likes this wine:
83 Points
Monday, April 5, 2021 - Ridiculously deep purple in color. Plum, blackberry, graphite/smoky, oak, vanilla, and a touch of alcoholic heat on the nose. Blackberry, sour cherry, and cedar on the palate. Smooth tannins and medium (+) acidity. A slightly tart finish that transitions to a lingering buttery oak.

So I don't think it needs time to round off any edges and I don't think it'll gain any additional complexity. I'm fairly new to the wine game though so take it with a grain of salt.
