I would say that some time in the bottle has helped this wine. Looking at the last tasting notes from 2020. Dark ruby red Medium/light body. Oak, leather, berries on the nose. Not a lot of character at the start. Tannis very prevalent on the finish. Cherry, tabacco on the finish. Did not decant. More time in the bottle and extra time with air will make this wine better in the future.

A little disappointed with this one. Decanted for two hours. Almost nothing on the nose which was surprising based on other comments. Color was beautiful. Dark ruby red. Medium bodied. Venturied as well trying to get something out the wine. Tart cherries is the best description. Very little complexity to it. Medium tannis. Drank with different cheeses, dried fruits and eventually a ribeye. Nothing helped. I have several bottles left which will be pushed to the back of the cellar and hopefully gets better in a few years.
