Well, here we are about mid-drinking window per CT. I’m not sure. This wine is still really fresh and vibrant. I think 2018-2032 is probably a minimum. This wine could go for 25-30 years, although I doubt I’ll have the discipline to see.
Soft black fruits and vanilla on the nose. Flavors follow, but incorporate some spice from the alcohol, some cedar, and some tobacco. Full bodied. Long finish. Drink or hold, and I think hold will be rewarded.

This wine dances across your tongue. Lots of black fruit, some tobacco, some oak, some spice, a bit of pepper, and a bit of magic. Full bodied with silky tannins. Recommended drinking window starting at 2018 per CT, and I’d say that’s a minimum. There’s quite a few years of life left in this one. Really wish I had more of this, but it’s not in the cards.

This is a bold, up in your face, bordeaux that qualifies for the "UNREAL" comment. About 60/40 CS/merlot with a splash of petit, I think. I tried to get more. Only bottled enough for Club. Bummer. Find some and steal it.

Walla Walla Syrah Festival "Vintage Pour" (Cavu Cellars, Walla Walla): Very good! Bright fruits, spice, minerals, baking chocolate and earth. Medium plus finish.

Similar notes. Just really well balanced. Incredibly long finish. Outstanding.
