May 29, 2020 - Not a very fragrant wine. Mostly vanilla and wood. Pretty dark color. Taste is not a total blunder. Some notes of berries, plums and chocolate but the tannins remain a bit assertive and acid is still pretty high but feels a bit watery and doesn’t have the lasting finish that I expect from a good quality Bordeaux. After 2 hours it started opening up and got moderately better but it opened up a very glacial pace afterwards. We finished the bottle because it’s a solid wine, but we won’t be touching the others for another 3-5 years. Probably still a bit too soon to start popping these open.

We were pretty certain it’s probably going through the end of the “dumb phase” and should be ready to drink in a few years. I’m waiting 3 years before I pop another open. We all think it’s definitely gonna last at least another 10 more years!
