Opened, decanted, tasted giving some fruit and complexity. Quickly closed down. Opened up at 2 hrs. Earthy licorice nose, full mouth feel, sage and dark fruit palate, spicy ceder finish of decent length. Solid wine at start of drinking window (with a 2 hr decant)

Blueberry NyQuil. Incredibly disappointing. Bought on release stored in humidity and temp controlled cellar. Good cork, color and clarity. Just awful wine.

Drinking very well as popped and poured. Improved with time in glass as well. Fresh ripe fruit (blueberry) balanced with soft tannins. Reasonable finish. Randomly grabbed out of cellar and drank with five guys burger and fries...awesome but the wine deserves much better. Again, drinking very well right now, but likely has 3-5 years at least.
