April 2, 2024 - Decanted 30 minutes before service. In the glass, no obvious signs of age, just a mature deep, dark purplish red. On the nose, also youthful, leading with currants and plums, with faint hints of mint and cedar in the background. On the palate, still quite a bit of fruit, with the secondary notes coming into play on the midpalate, as well as a modest amount of unresolved tannins on the finish. While there are those tannins, I'm not sure I would bet on further positive evolution at this point.

December 31, 2021 - Paired with grilled ribeye on New Year's Eve, and it was delicious. Quick decant recommended, but wine is singing.
