Wow. This has really held up well! Stored in climate controlled environment. Popped & poured. Fruit is still there; but fading after open (~20 mins). A little heavy on the oak for me; but all in balance with a crisp/acid bite. Lovely finish. Don't wait any long; drink'em up! You can taste the age, but not sure it has much left in it (i.e. just fade faster from here). Best surprise of my 2023 so far.
