Lots of grit and sediment in the neck. Wine still pours inky black, and the noseis very European, Rhône-like. Upon opening this was a little weak out of a Cabernet glass, lacking any concentration or breadth of flavor, but depth and complexity increased dramatically when poured into Syrah stems.
The wine continue to improve over the course of four hours, And I would guess it’s in the heart of its ideal window. This was my last bottle and I’m glad I drank it now.

This was a "WOW" wine. Hands down, explosive fruit. Alc content was high at 16.1 but you couldn't tell based on the construction of the beautiful expression of Petit. Can easily go many more years......

Still has fruit but recommend drinking sooner then later. Drank over a couple nights.

This is normally a great wine, but, sadly, this bottle was corked.

High octane fruit bomb. Pleasant but lacking the complexity to make it outstanding.
