Lovely wine after holding onto it since buying it at its release at the winery. You can read the other posts about what they’re tasting. I’ll add that this bottle had balanced tannins and all the flavor. Only a modest hint of age in the mid-palate and in the color.

Very good. Needed a couple hours to open up. At this point it is fruity and has very light tannins. Lots of berry notes. The earthiness that’s there seems to be some leather and tobacco flavors.

Drank first of a flight of different vintages. Smooth balanced with notes of berry. Wish I had bought more bottles when I first tasted at the winery in 2014.
