  Based on my previous TN, this bottle was decanted for 10 minutes - with some sediment - but really needed about 30 minutes to fully open up and integrate.
  The nose presented dark red fruits, earth, and lots of cedar. The medium to plus bodied palate showed both red and dark red fruits, incl. dark cherry and currants, some earth, some cedar, balancing acidity, and integrated tannins. As good as the previous bottle but 10+ months later, so recommend drinking up by year-end '21.

  PnP, but benefitted from ~ 20 minutes of air. A bit of red fruit, mocha and earth on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed both red and dark red fruits incl. dark cherry and currants, some earth, balancing acidity, integrated tannins, and some sediment in the last glass. May be losing some of its freshness (at 8+years), but still a satisfying wine with a couple of years to go.

  Very light nose, nothing remarkable. Oaky overnotes, low acid, balanced tannin, low-key Merlot and Cab character, as to be expected, 60% Merlot/40% Cabernet Sauvignon.

  - Ruby color with slow forming legs. It's balanced with a medium body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Ready to drink now.
