90 min decant; great wine in a really nice place right now. Flavors of red and black berries, tobacco, loamy earth, black tea tannins and some cocoa on the lengthy finish. Really liking this one! Drink now - 2032+.

This took a long time to open up, and I have liked previous vintages better, hence my lower than the CT average score. I should note, that most of my wine group, with whom I shared this wine, liked it better than I did.

3 hour decant. Flavors of earth, red and black berries, tobacco, black tea. Tannins were nice and round, not chewy at all. This wine was drinking really well after the decant. Drink now with air - 2032.

Big full flavored and bodied goodness. Cedar, blackberries, blueberries, earth and cigar ash. Enjoying on first evening of vacation in Florida Keys. Cheers.

Full robust wine. 92-93 points now with room to improve. Excellent depth of fruit here, superior to the 2018 vintage IMO.

Dry red wine, low acidity, fruity on the nose with balanced tannins. Flavorful, notes of oak, soil, red berries.

Deep purple in color, powerful nose, excellent balance of punch and finesse. There is nothing wrong with this wine, and I'm glad to have more.
