  So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Opened for cowboys v. cardinals at classic wine, based on the most recent review from Rebs in Chicago. That review was spot on. The aromas and flavors were described perfectly, and matched my experience.
  
  This wine was in a fantastic spot. Still plenty of fruit, well integrated tannins. Still deep red in the glass, with only the slightest bricking. I did notice a slight metallic nose as it warmed, but was not distracting. My first Cinq Cepage and it did not disappoint. Still life for well stored bottles.

  Oh wow! This was a VERY pleasant surprise!
  
  Color is still a beautiful ruby right up the edges.
  
  The nose is a beautiful dried dark berries, a backbone of green bell peppers, eucalyptus, forest floor, spices, a cassis liquor with a long long finish
