  I have been taking a glass from the coravin each night as I have been preparing dinner. The wine is a mixture of black and red fruit. Blackberries, red cherry, some currents, sandalwood and a touch of spice lead to a smooth finish. I finished the bottle tonight while preparing a dinner of leftovers.

  Thought this was a 2013 until I looked at the label….
  
  Dark crimson, translucent rim
  
  Deceptively youthful, ripe tannins, long and smooth.
  
  Very attractive

  Still evolving when we finished after being open for four hours. Really enjoyed with cheese plate for appetizers - medium body with red fruit and pepper on the nose and on the palate.

  Agree with the multiple prior notes that this is square in the center of the drinking window. Southern Rhone in style, with pepper and black fruits on the nose, smooth on the palate with a decently lengthy finish. Day 2 showed well too, without significant decline. It will live but would not expect an increase in pleasure.

  White pepper, dried herbs and wood spice on the noise. Softly textured, with pure red cherry and raspberry fruit. Finishes with fine grained and dusty tannins and persistent length. Nicely balanced, and drinking well right now.
