My last of the “Christmas Cuvée.” PnP, this continues to drink well for my palate. Savory Rocks notes, fruit definitely I the background. My last note on these from 2018 said they would last another 3-5 years, and this final bottle seems to support it. Drink up now.

Recotte’s recent summary is spot on. Lots of funky tar, olive, brine, and dark fruit balanced by good acidity and soft tannins. Holding up very well and could certainly last until next Christmas. 4+11+16+8= 89

This has held up well as a baby-Reynvaan. Olives, brine and Rocks funk continue to be evident. Good on PnP, held up fine overnight for day 2. This will easily hold on for another 3-5 years, but nothing wrong with drinking up now.
Minerals and liquid strawberry and cherry with deliciously subdued subterranean funk and a long finish. Drank well right after opening. Bottle was purchased 11/14.

Fruit almost gone. Funk omnipresent. I would say, drink by this Christmas. Especially if you have NV from full pull.
