Had with a bone in rib eye. Still good fruit showing through. The tannins are well integrated resulting in a smooth wine. I don’t think the wine will benefit from further aging .

Nose faded over the course of an hour, but was red fruit fresh.
Clear this had reached its peak. Tannins are fading, but still there.
Nice jammy red fruits, but lacking complexity. Enjoyable but would not choose this vintage now.

Decanted for 1 hour prior to drinking. Initial notes of dark fruit (black currents) and blueberries with just a hint of cocoa powder. Nice on the mid-palate with some acidic notes. Although the tannin had resolved, they were still there is abundance with a slight note of bitterness on the finish. During dinner, it was paired with Ribeye steak and Fingerling potatoes. By the 4th hour, this was becoming somewhat astringent.
Drink now.

Popped and poured through a powered aerator and consumed over several hours, including while watching fireworks. Deep eggplant purple. Has a nose with that initial blast of blueberry that I've come to enjoy with Buccella cabs. Overall nose and taste of blueberries, dark plum, cedar and with hints of vanilla. Smooth. Well integrated tannins. Still some pretty high acidity. Excellent wine but a little less powerful and flavorful than other vintages I've tasted.
