  Popped and poured. Gorgeous dark purple. Leggy. Floral nose, with aromas of lilac and violets. Fairly rich palate, purple fruit, straightforward with oodles of fruit, but not a ton of complexity. Very smooth with no hard edges and tannin mostly gone. Peak drinking right now with time on its side and room for more perfect drinking, but I don't see it improving a lot from here. 5-13-16-7: 91/100.

  Smoothing out, still an incredible wine. Don't wait much longer to have one, it's in its prime

  Not great, not bad. Lots of fruit across the palate. However, in a bit of a choppy state. Did not find it as smooth as others.
