Well, this was bit of a surprise! The color had no signs of age, the nose did have some secondary notes of the Rutherford dust but the fruit was dominate. This still has a ton of structure and enjoyed over an hour with no sign of going flabby. This was a joy to drink. One more puppy in the cellar.

Decanted and let it breath for about an hour before dinner. On opening it had some funkiness that almost smelled corked and tasted sour cherries. I had some hope based on Burgundy Al’s note. The funk did blow off, it was still high toned after an hour, the sour cherry bitterness softened. It paired well with the steak and salmon. After two hours it started to unwind more and deliciousness factor went up and the wine disappeared quickly. It needs time to unwind but it didn’t have much tannins so I wouldn’t sit on these too much longer.

Wine has has great fruit structure, but it is in a dumb phase. Hopefully it will age out of it.
