Personally. I would give this another 5-10 years to soften a little as it should have a very long life ahead. Still tightly coiled with great underlying material.

Great choice with Denver steak. Matched the full flavor of the steak and and moderately spiced dry rub very well. Fruits were distinct but not heavy on the palate, a fullness of the fruit profile that was combined with a light touch of minimality.

Big cassis and blueberry nose, not quite jammy. Impressive in its way, though I'm not compelled to chase it. 94(+?)

Les Degustateurs last tasting for a dear friend (Smyth and the Loyalist Chicago, IL): Youngest wine of the flight. Deep berry color, tight tannins, sweet finish, super body and weight on the palate. So youthful. Wait to try again in 5 years and can go another 15+. BUY.

Really dark, plump fruit, good nose, tannins still there, good long finish, just needs more time+5years. Hold/Buy
