Still going well. At first sip, was mostly sour cherry, heavy on sour. After 20-30 minutes, it opened to more flavors. Sour cherry still there, but with a nice supporting cast. We had this with salmon and it matched wonderfully. Very nice wine.

Much better than two years ago. The alcohol is now well integrated, and there's more complexity on the midpalate. It developed nicely over a two hour period. Was still drinking well two days later. Drink or hold. 88-89

This has integrated very well over time. It has no edges and lots of smoothness. Lots of cherry and cola on the palate with a smooth finish.

Notes of cherry all over. Lacking on the midpalate, with a hot finish. 87+
Update: Much better integrated on the 3rd day of vacuum corkage. Perhaps this will be better in a couple of years?
