Drinking nicely now. Ripe black fruit in the aroma and palette. Med complexity, med finish. Modest tannins remain. A solid wine. Maybe 1-3 years of bottle life remaining.

Had another one of these after four years — not holding up well. Feels like the structure never came to focus, dark fruit, subtle pyrazine, big dried berries — and a kind of cooked fruit quality. Feels on the downhill.

I thought I got a great price at $26 on release, but I'm afraid this is only drinking like a $26 bottle. Still a little tight, basic cab flavors. Will retest later.
