Seattle Ken said this was approachable but I agree with the other Ken et al. who said it wasn't. I have a case so I opened one for science. Most people complained about the tannins but it was actually the acidity that made this unenjoyable for me. I don't think 3 years will be enough, I recommend holding 5-8.

This would definitely benefit from another 3-5 years at least. It is currently tight and, while promising, not revealing much. It feels as if it will be lean, clean and composed- but only time will tell. Hold 3-5 years.

This wine needs to lie down and rest for another 5 years. Quite tannic as it is right now. A few hour decant, or maybe a day, would not be inappropriate. It's just undeveloped and hard to say where it might go from here. No Obvious faults noted, with some age I believe it will resolve itself into a pleasant enough bottle.

Super tight still. Not sure I want to keep it for another three years even though it would benefit from it
