Someone thought the drinking window was 2015-2016. I have no idea why. This wine is drinking beautifully right now, but definitely has a few more years left. Drink or hold.

Two years since last bottle, little more of a nose, some fruit like blackberry. Still mild though. Tastes of dark fruit and vanilla. It has some long forming legs, but still has a fairly short finish. Overall. It still a nice wine, was just hoping for a little more development.

Initially I thought this bottle might be flawed because it gives off a strong wet cardboard/fishy odor upon PnP. Fortunately this blows off with about 30 minutes of air. Gives way to rich blackberry, bakers cocoa, interesting cantaloupe, and mild spice. Mild tannins. Shorter finish than what I expected.

Not much of a nose on this, some berries and a slight chemical smell. Dark ruby color and medium legs. Very young tasting, considering its a new release. Some butteriness on first taste, but sharp on the finish with some berries a little vanilla in between. I think this will develop into a complex wine in a few more years. OK now, but much better later.
