September 2, 2023 - Smooth and subtle, PNP was 55F and I decanted. Beautiful garnet red as viewed through the aerator. Fruity, nothing over powering, nice finish albeit short. It improved after 2 hours. Not a complex CDP, but very enjoyable sipping with a fruity delicate nose. Not sure how much life is left here so I suggest drinking sooner than later. I think 2030 is "out there", more like drink by 2025.
