  Opened, poured and let sit about 1/2 hr. Then: Not much nose. Not much fruit on the taste at this point; what there is a bit darkish. Acidity the main focus, which is OK. Still in some balance; decent mouthfeel; tannin not an issue. Mellowed out a bit over time in the glass. Worked decently with pizza. This probably could go longer, but not sure what the benefit would be.

  Nice accidity! Quite good length. Maybe improving for 5+ more years.
  Drank great with osso bucco!

  Streamlined and taut, with cranberry and cinnamon notes lifted by piquant acidity. The finish shows mildly drying tannins and lingers on the palate for half a minute. Good on its own, and better with food.
