  No problems here and probably only just hitting it's straps. Drunk over 2 nights with a very decent decant. Dare I say a little sweet fruit poked it's head out on the second night but otherwise showing dry fruits and taunt wood. Tannin surprising soft; present but not of sandpaper variety. Better drunk a little cool, not BKK room temp! Good until 2026 (at least).

  Decanted and drank over several hours. Needs lots of breathing time. This one started out tight and tannic, but softened and opened to lovely floral notes and sweet fruits with some earthy tones. Great dark garnet color and very pure. Seems like there's many years of pleasure ahead for those who have this one in their cellars.

  Black cherry and rubber nose; dark smokey rubber fruits, cherries, strawberry, but has a bit of a stewed component to it that im not a fan of; finishes fairly long with great balance and no heat. A shame that stewiness reared its head, otherwise a nice wine.

  Great garnet color. Great purity and wonderful floral nose. Decanted and drank within 30 minutes. This is the real deal folks. Lots of life left in this one.
