Meant to wait a bit longer before sampling another of these, but couldn't resist sharing with the neighbors. Flavors echo my previous note: Cherry, a bit of heat, etc. Very tasty, glad I have more. Drink now - 2031.

P&P. Lots of cherry in this one right from the pop. Cherry and oak aromas with some alcohol heat, all of which follow to the palate. Lightly drying tannins bring up the finish, with a good zing of acid. Good stuff now, but likely room for improvement with additional bottle age. Drink now (maybe decant?) through 2031.

An excellent red to sip on the porch with friends. Drinking extremely well now and will continue to do so through 2031.

Consistent with prior notes. Certainly much more approachable than the 18 MCK.

Wow that smells like pickle juice and tobacco. Something went wrong there. Palate is better.
