The color is still dense red center, very slight orange rim. Beautiful cherry, plum and blueberry, tea on the nose. On the palate , beautiful balance, seamless, complex. I am so glad glad I opened this now even though it will continue to evolve for years. One of the best wines I have ever had!

Ruby color with slight orange rim, current and cherry fruit prominent, vanilla and cedar notes with a long smooth finish, balanced. Not sure whether to drink now, but glad I did. Close to its peak, but could continue to do fine for years.

Garnet color, with nice balance, integrated tannins. Drinking well now but should continue to improve for a couple years at least. 90 points.
