On opening a very deep but “hot” wine (14.4% alc). After 2 hours open changed significantly to reveal more nuanced flavors and brightness and softer flavors. A little hot overall, though… not as balanced as the usual Cadence wine.

A significant wine experience. PNP - full bodied intense on open, complete, w/ flavor profile More in line with Futurist note below. Calmed down after an hour and began presenting considerable perfume amplifying an already great experience. Ben has always suggested longer term aging - it sure worked here.

My TN won’t do justice to this wine. However, because it is supposed to be “past its window,” I thought I post. This is drinking well. Drink now, but it is really good. Great balance; fruit, smooth, soft. I usually prefer the Ciel du Cheval, but this is really good right now. had with a Flannery ribeye.

This had improved dramatically since I last had it. The tannins had softened leaving behind a beautiful and balanced mélange of red and black fruit. The purity of the fruit was compelling.

Dark and plummy, a little bit of funk, rich, balanced, tannins fully resolved.
