Quite ready, but probably a few more years in this stage. Nose is light at first, nice evolution, still dark berries, no hint of vanilla, quite interesting. Initial mouthfeel pleasant, mouthfilling, round. But a little acrid aftertaste, after a few seconds, that just make the mouthfeel not as enjoyable. But overall, anyhow, very good. Drink now. 92-93!

Wow. This wine has really hit prime. Wonderful dark fruit nose with cherries and plums. Mouthfeel is rich like velvet. Dried cherries and a bit of pine. The balance is about perfect, if not just a bit soft. Finish is long and enjoyable. Glad I held this one. Can't see it getting better.

My final bottle, and drinking beautifully. Stewed fruit and floral notes of an aged wine starting to show up. Wish I had a couple more!
