  More Bordeaux-styled than Penley's Phoenix Cabernet: drier and a little astringent on the finish. It could still develop into something more, but I’m not sure.

  First impressions - nice fruit - minty blackcurrant and dark cherry. Very dry with fine tannins. Medium finish. Not sure this has the situffing to age a long time and tame the tannins but pretty good for the price.

  Nice dark fruit and briar on the nose. If you told me this was a warm weather left bank Bordeaux, I might believe you— although the minty edge might give me pause. Palate is pretty much the same. At this stage, I like this more than the 2018.

  Good depth of fruit flavors, but got better in the glass. Decant for a hour next time. Some deeper flavor reminiscent of aged balsamic.

  Nice fruit with balanced tannins and acidity. The wine grows with time in the glass and would probably gain on more time on the bottle. A lot of dark fruit, black currant and cedar.
