My son was standing about 6' from me when he pulled the cork - within seconds I was hit with the glorious nose. Bright fruit with just a touch of funk lurking in the background. Everything is working together here: the fruit tastes fresh, the tannins are soft and integrated, the acidity is well-balanced and there's a bit of length. Wish I had another bottle - I'd like to come back to this in 5 years. Drank with chicken pot pie.

Based on notes, decanted four hours prior to serving. Opened up beautifully - solid pairing with ribeyes on the grill.
