Interesting blend with bright fruit flavors balanced by chewy tannins. Bottle very tight on opening and still begging for more time after 2 hours. I think drinking window on CT a few years short as this bottle, properly cellared since purchase, seems like it could have gone 3-5 more years. Only criticism is that Malbec seemed a bit too prominent in this blend.

Brought to a tasting. Has definitely improved with time. Good balance of acid, tannins, and medium-dark fruit. Smooth, brighter fruit on the long finish.
