Ready now and very enjoyable at the table. Overall, good mature fruit, nice structure although slightly lean, and everything in its place. Same as last experience.

Garnet to the rim. Mature aroma of tobacco, mushroom and compost. Same flavors with background primary CF herbal element and cherry. Nice, medium, slightly lean palate with no tannin and a pleasant acidic snap on the finish. I like this but the fruit may be a bit old for some. Never great, and still not, but a good, balanced CF that has benefited from age. Now or wait short term.

Fresher fruit with some cedar and richer mid-palate compared to last bottle. Very good. Don't decant.
