Pretty damned good right now....flowery road tar nose. Texture is on point, full-bodied and smooth. All the red and black fruits. Finish is spectacular. Drink up!

Really nice and probably at its peak. Plenty of red and blue fruit with almost ideal structure. All kinds of secondary, "Rhoney" notes and flavors, but they're not obtrusive. Probably good for a few more years, but why wait? Really solid Chateauneuf.

Final bottle of a half case. Finished it off because it's drinking great right now, with a lovely balance (50/50) between primary fruit and secondary funk/barnyard/mushrooms. Balance will tip toward the latter with more age. IMO this could be the apogee for the wine depending on your preferences.

Drinking well with nice level of maturity. No decanting needed. I don't think it will improve with age.
