Drank over 3 days. 2 hours S/O didn't get anywhere. Medicinally sweet blue raspberry alcohol kool aid without any character or other definable flavors...after 3 ounce pour was thinking I might just pour it out. Recorked and cellared. Day 2 was about 25% better with dark fruits but still an unbalanced mess. 3rd day was best -maybe a 92...this was a big disappointment compared to the 95 point bottle. Maybe a bottle variation.

Believe this is at peak right now. Gave it about an hour of air with the last 30 minutes in the fridg to chill it slightly. Boy, this is good. No surprise as Greer is pretty consistent (looking forward to the Roy Piper Cabs that start including Greer in 2021). Starting to show its' age in the color but still very vibrant. Creamy (not syrupy) with piercing dark fruit flavors - blackberry, plum. After many days on the Winekeeper that last glass included very fine tannins which seemed to result in a burnt toast finish. Not a negative, just very intriguing. Should last for a few more years, but if I had more I'd drink them sooner than later.
90 minute Decant: full bodied, blackberry, black currant, plum, cedar, dark chocolate, anise. Lovely, light tannins, layered, 20-30 second finish. Will it improve? Don't think so, my taste buds preferred this 3-4 years ago. 95+

Past its prime or maybe it was corked to begin with. It had no life - dead.
