  I love checking in on the OVZs about 5 years out from harvest, but was a little hesitant to open this given the structure of the vintage. Did not disappoint at all and didn’t need a decant. Wonderful aromas and flavors of ripe black currant, blackberry, dried blueberry, and raspberry layered on a core of iron and graphite minerality. Lush on the palate, but not in an overly ripe/juicy manner, bolstered by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins.
  
  As much as I love the SVDs, the OVZ remains a stupid good value and develops so well in the cellar. Wish I bought cases of this.
