Gave it a 40-45 minute decant before consuming. Wine has a lovely “pop” of cherry and other red fruit flavors along with a hint of leather/earth. Very smooth mouthfeel and the Finnish does not really linger. Compared to the 2016 Don’s Block that was consumed the night before, this wine does come in second place but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a really good wine. Very enjoyable and will buy again on the next trip to Emeritus as part of the portfolio from the winemaker.
