Somewhat Old World in character, with bright red fruit notes on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with a very nice finish. I suspect that this can continue to age for several more years, but no need to, as the wine is drinking well currently - - especially 30+ minutes after opening.

Wow, what a difference 18 months makes. Fruity and medium-bodied, but with a hint of old-world taste (to which I credit the PS). Unexpected and outstanding bottle tonight, looking forward to my last bottle in 6-18 more months, but no reason to wait now.

Very thin when first poured but with 30+ minutes of decanting it opened up well. Remained with less body and intensity than past vintages though. Still very nice but not as memorable.

Needs 30 min - 1 hr decant. Really smooths out. No food pairing. Medium body, but lot of character. I tried this at the winery (highly recommend visiting) and ordered a case of this and one of the pinot noirs.

PnP, hoping will be better with time in glass, or tomorrow. Simple and smooth, but unremarkable out of the bottle.
