Drinking superbly and at peak, highly recommend and I disagree with the closing date on the above CT drinking window - with proper cellaring this has years to go. Drink or hold but probably not much further upside with further cellaring. Would benefit from a short 30-60 minute decant. Dark purple, no bricking, well balanced, good mouth feel, surprisingly full bodied and muscular, complex and with a lovely medium length aftertaste. Nose of dark stone fruit, raspberry, smoke with a lighter vanilla and almost perfumey rose petal. Flavor profile of dark cherry, plum, blueberry and a hint of black pepper.

Took a bit to open up but after 45 minutes it started to fill out nicely. Fruit has subsided but still very enjoyable.

Still in a good window now, but drink up because I don't think it will last a whole lot longer.

Very pleasant, generous wine. Warmer, riper, chewier and richer than I would have expected from Oregon.
