Still has an opening of bright red fruit, almost sweet ripe. Soft supple palate. Drinking well now, especially with a sausage, mushroom and onion pizza.

Needed to open up more but I was impatient however a wonderful bouquet and solid length. A little heavy on the tannins but I think if given time to decant and certainly a few years it will continue to improve. The red fruit was there just overpowered at the moment

Tasted at the winery, from Coravin. Full and fresh on the nose and palate. Good length with a mixture of fruits and textures. The finish is long, and there's a fair amount of structure, but ultimately this is probably best now and over the short term. 14,5% abv. (fully resolved), recommended
Served non-blind.

Still quite youthful. Drank well with a turkey pesto melt and a Packers victory over the undefeated Cardinals!

Consistent with last year's note, good; on the cusp of its decline, now or in the next 3-4 years.
Double-decanted 1 hr prior to serving non-blind.
