Much better than the (overly generous) previous rating. After a year, this is much more ready to drink. Decanted, then back into the bottle. Worked with leftover turkey dinner, but nothing like the Hendry we had on Thanksgiving. Moderate berry/zin characteristics. Nothing off; just a nice mid-range wine. I think this will continue to improve for a few years.

Really drinking perfectly now, this is at a great place, finally. Luscious, with some tannin and the typical spice and bramble. A click and a half more than medium-bodied, with a good finish. Just enough acidity to make it food-friendly.

Started out a little harsh. By the third day, those undertones had settled down, but left it a little flabby. It's an OK wine, just nothing special.
