Needs time to decant now. Alcohol levels and tannins are piercing without a decant at this point. Fruits have become dark and lush once a proper decant has been achieved.

Deep purple, smooth, fruity but mellow. An aged smooth drinker at this point. Drinking window very nice right now and remains open for a few more years at least but hard to see this getting better.

Velvety smooth now with really well integrated tannins. Fruit lovers will still enjoy but the wine has evolved into plusher dark fruit flavors. Immensely enjoyable. I think it’s drinking very well right now and much better than it was 3 years ago. The drinking window just seems to keep extending.
