  Drank with prime rib on Xmas eve and this was really nice. Definitely has smoothed out a bit since last bottle a few years ago. Nice dark fruit, and just enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy. Nice texture and mouthfeel. Smoothed out and improved with air for 1-2 hours. One left and should be good for a couple more years without a problem. The drinking window here on CT closes in 2023 but I think well stored bottles should be fine for a while. Pushing my end window back to 2025

  Thanks to Cellar tracker - reports indicated wines that we should have consumed by now. Stored in a Vinotemp, horizontal, dark - the wine was still good but probably better a few years ago. Pleasing nose, but a bit flat on the palate. Not offensive but lacking depth and interest. Will be working on the other younger Cinq Cepages over the next few weeks.

  Great nose. Still somevtannin and mid pallette not fully expressive. Maybe needed s longer decant. Still many good years ahead.

  I thought this had lost a little, so interesting to see other recent reviewers say it’s got time left to hold. Still an enjoyable wine.
