January 27, 2017 - An eclectic mix of nice wines with friends (Pine Lake Trout Club): This was nice. It didn't get touched a lot and there was more than half a bottle left, so i brought it home to see what some air did to it later today. Purple in color. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, some roasted herbs and a bit of pepper. On the palate, this is not showing a lot. Nice texture which makes me think its shut down a bit? Some fruit. Light tannins. Its good, but not as good as the other bottle on the table. Hopefully, it opens up a bit today.

Found it almost a week later and figured what the heck and it was a totally different wine. Much more expressive, much less tight. Very pretty. Maybe something similar can happen with the 2014?
