I really can't decide if this wine is at its peak or needs a bit more time. We have 4 bottles and drank one with grilled pork. I cannot imagine this holding until 2020 (or whenever). The fruit, while evident, was not strong and the body was very nice, yet not particularly luscious or rich. I really did enjoy the wine today. But, I think we might move this into a more aggressive drinking rotation instead of holding it.

Was worried this would be past its prime. Was still quite good. Delicious cherry flavors, rich, long finish.

Expected more. Not a bad bottle exactly, just simply not enough "juice" there to support the spice elements.

Nice nose- but some unripened over earthiness - almost bitter
