Decanted for 25 minutes to open and separate from some sediment. A medium minus purple in the glass. A combination of darker red (more) and lighter red (less) fruits on the medium bodied palate along with some earth, spice, minerality and fresh acidity. Very similar, but maybe a touch better (no tannins) than our bottle some eight months ago.

Decanted for 15 minutes but better after 30 minutes which gave the wine time to open and integrate. Some brighter red fruits (red cherry, raspberry) but mostly darker fruits (black cherry, blackberry) on the medium bodied palate along with some spice and a bit of earthiness. The acidity was crisp but balancing and there was just a touch of tannin on the finish. This wine should hold for several years.

Murky, prune juice color, Forest floor or, perhaps, mushroom aromas. Tart red cherry or cranberry on the tongue. A lean mouthfeel. Frankly this wine seems quite stark I just don't get much depth. Mineral sensations under the rear palate gives a slight bitter taste.

Tasted over 3 hrs -semi-translucent med red mild bricking -moderately expressive red fruit rhubarb black raspberry cassis -med+ acidity, med- weight tart dusty black raspberry cassis cherry pit bitter note sappy saline, wispy tannins almost completely resolved -this is quite nice with good complexity lively acidity and fully mature tannins though no overtly mature flavors - just a lovely delicate dusty fruit remnant, nice terroir comparison to last night's '14 Trout Gulch

This is drinking very well. The fruit is still there and it’s in a great spot. Drink up.
