I have one bottle left and it will go 2-3 more years easily. Initially felt I had waited too long, however on day 2 it was a delight! Fairly strong aromas of leather, tobacco, dark fruit and earth. Spicy and complex. It was good several bottles ago but it has reached a surprising new level. Give it a long decant.

Best showing of this wine. One left out of a case and will give that bottle two more years. Well integrated flavors of olive, red berries, exotic herbs and a certain something I can’t describe. Honestly surprised how well this came together. Delicious, unusual and moderately complex.

No rush to drink up if ideally stored and I’ve changed my drink by date to 2030. Delightful berry aroma. Tons of red berries with a touch of black cherry, anise, and cedar. Well balanced with a silky smooth mouthfeel. Only modest complexity but very tasty nonetheless.
