Softer and smoother than when released. The bright and lively acidity has started to fade but still shows lush dark cherry and plum. Drink now or over the next few years.

Really a great bottle of wine. Drinking great now. Bright acidity lifts the lively red fruit with rich plum coming in on the mid palate. Fine grained tannins on the lengthy finish.

Last night: 3 hr decant and I didn't take notes. Just a nice plush mairlow with some classic favors, some oak, and well masked 14.9% etoh. Tannins velvety already, now-2020.

Gorgeous. Probably at the end of its prime - drink now - but what a prime. Smooth and luscious.

I liked this more when it was just released. The acid is still there, just not as bright. A little more rich. Dark fruit dominates.
