Hitting on all cylinders. Not showing much age at all. Mature and still showing primary fruit and lovely secondary notes of new leather and olive. Harmonius and fun in a great window.

Cool vintage very evident in the wine. Fruit was mostly sour cherry and raspberry with some underlying earthiness. Still some drying tannins to be resolved. Wine got much better with about an hour of air. Went well with beef back ribs. Plenty of acidity left, the wine will likely hold for another decade, although not sure it will improve much.

Very smooth and rich. Deep fruit with hint of cranberry.

Drinking well. Smooth tannins and still some good fruit. Powerhouse wine. Paired great with chicken parm pizza!

Blackberries, dark fruit, pepper, spice, herbal notes, graphite and finishes with some balanced tannins. B+
