15 minutes after opening, not decanted. Too windy outside to gauge the nose, but this has a Velvety mouth feel that reveals crushed stone and red fruit. Weight indicates this is ready to drink, and I’d be cautious on holding onto this beyond 2023.
As the previous CT'ers notes suggest this bottling is starting to peak and the fruit is entering a secondary phase. I still very much enjoy this bottle at this price point. No guilt in grabbing these late night and enjoying over several days which we did. Opened on a Friday and slowly working through this bottle Monday. Opened next to Force Majeure 17 Estate Syrah & Keplinger 16 Petit Sirah Sumo.

Enjoyed from syrah stems. While I’ve been outside for a while on Halloween with a slightly runny nose. This seems like it’s in the heart or far side of its drinking window. Flavors are far less intense than in the first two years after release, but it’s still a very enjoyable wine and would go well with yeah lamb, beef bourginon, or tonight’s shepherds pie.

Very tasty bottle that was drank along side a 2016 Tensley Syrah. This RF Kelly's Cuvee is plush and round but not overpowering and in my opinion is in a great spot enjoy. I'm sure the drinking window has several years ahead.
