Purchased direct from winery and stored in climate controlled cellar. Opened and tasted then decanted for 1.5hrs. First taste at open was very nondescript. Good but unremarkable. Over the 1.5hrs it opened up a lot, but never displayed the finesse other vintages have. This had a very delicate personality with decent structure. If paired with food, it will likely fold. On it’s own it is solid but not as expressive as I expected. The 2000’s of Three Palms Merlot and cabs are far more enjoyable. This wine did not have much to discuss.

Very nice bottle, opened at restaurant (from my cellar) approx. 20 minutes before drinking. Nice and open, lots of dark fruits. I think this is in a good drinking period right now.

So incredible. Yet I would lay this down another few years and I think it will be even better.
