Friday, September 22, 2017 - Prior bottle was eight months ago and my notes were virtually identical. Red cherry, floral and mix of mineral, earth and vanilla on the nose. Medium bodied with bright red cherry upfront which deepens quickly, adding raspberry, black cherry and tart red cherry. Finishes with vanilla, floral, mineral and earth notes, supported by fine grained tannins. The mid-body shows roundness and silkiness with increasing polish. There's enough structure (both acidity and tannin based) that I feel this wine should be able to hold this level for at least another two years. It may show some minor additional improvement with more cellar time as the middle continues to deepen and the acidity/fruit balance continues to improve. I would say very much in the drinking window, but no rush. I have one more bottle which I'll save for Fall 2018.
