A little past its peak. It's lost a lot of fruit and it'd nice savory streak. Still, it's smooth, creamy, and mellow and paired perfectly with meatloaf.

Decanted 2 hours prior to dinner of seared BBQ pork cutlets, roasted sweet potato, and grilled asparagus. This wine paired perfectly with the sweet and smokey BBQ sauce, and was much better with food. Aromas and flavors are blending nicely, with tons of black fruit, plums, and currant, a good, full, sweet and savory palate, extracted yet not jammy, with hints of herbs and spices throughout. The finish is still a little dusty without food. Simple, refined, and expressing terroir very nicely. Drink now - 2020.

Very smooth, big, full palate, this one tasted more extracted, but went well with savory grilled chicken, beans and rice, and veggies.
