Sunday, February 7, 2021 - Drank one bottle in 2 sittings, 6 months apart in 2020.

Why you may ask?

Because upon first tap with Coravin it was very restrained, seeming like it was nowhere ready to drink, differing from the glowing reports from our CT peers. So I let it rest some more and came back to it 6 months later, with a quick tap and boy did it EVOLVE! First sip was like the Hallelujah chorus! Majestic, radiant and joyful.

Beautiful opaque rich red garnet color with waves of sweet cassis fruit on the nose. Palate had perfect weight mid to full bodied with plush rich cabernet driven flavours that matches the nose precisely, delivering great satisfaction with every elegant juicy sip. Tannins are still present but playing a supporting role. Had no problem pulling the still supple cork.

Uh-mazing with pan seared Prime aged NY Strip Steak.

Thrilled to have 2 more bottles. Outstanding!
