PnP through aerator. Still holding up well. Nose of cherry, violet, earth, dark fruits and a touch of menthol/eucalyptus. The 24% Cabernet is apparent both on the nose and palate but is well integrated. Cherry palate with blueberry, blackberry, loam and some Syrah meatiness. Juicy mouthfeel with firm tannins but likely milder than before based on previous reviews. Day 2 notes similar to day 1, not any better or worse. The cherry note was a bit more sour than day 1 and I didn't notice any eucalyptus on the nose but other than that, almost identical.

Drinking well. Still good blue fruit remaining, resolved tannins, and lengthy finish. Could probably go a few more years, but tasty now.

Really drinking nicely, showing good fruit primarily blueberry. No noticeable tannins or oak. Everything seems well integrated.
