Upon opening this 2021 was still super tannic and tight. After being open about an hour it settled a bit, but would still do well to lay down in the cellar for another year.

Update on day 2 (sealed with vacuvin overnight): the fruit really started to shine. Lots of berry balanced with pepper and jam. Shows the potential of this wine - updated my score.

Opened this tonight and it is still very drinkable - still has some acidity on the finish, but the cherry, berry fruit leads the way. It had some slightly brown edges upon opening, but a half hour in those went away. Maybe another couple years, so drink up.

This is still tasty. Easy to drink upon opening - lots of dark fruit and a peppery finish. Probably has a year or two left.
