My last bottle, and a good time to drink it. Not a lot of fruit remaining, even after a couple hours of air. Great pairing with picanha. I doubt this will improve much, although it didn't have much in the way of tertiary notes just yet. It's possible this will continue to blossom into a perfectly mature 25-year old wine and I think it's equally likely it'll fall apart in a couple years.

This really punched above it’s price point. Showing some really nice developed fruit. Absolutely tasty right now. Wish I had bought another to work on for a few more years.

Bought these several years ago from a discounter and really couldn’t be happier with the progress this is making. Just wish I gmhad another case aging nicely in the cellar. Nice wine!

Pretty good on day 1, less so on day 2. The acidity and astringency kind of took over by the second day. The first day was a nice alternating series of red fruit and herbs and earth.
