Really drinking great. Popped and poured, but developed really well over the course of a meal. Would probably benefit from a brief decant. Can hold for a few more years.

Lots of very pretty primary fruit on popping, which sadly blows off very quickly. Develops into shallow secondaries. Lots of tannin and good acidity, so I’d say sit on it and see what happens. It seems hotter than the label specifies from smell and feel.

The community note to drink by 2024 is way off. While it’s drinking wonderfully, there is enough structure for a much longer haul. 10 years? So hard to quantify these things, but there is so much primary fruit and pleasant tannins that there is certainly no rush. Really rich and unctuous, currants and leather, touch of chocolate and cedar. Smells like Oakville, and certainly glad I have three more bottles.
