Tasted after about an hour of air. Noticeable VA on the nose with plum and black fruit in the background. Med+ body, low acid, med+ tannin. Not sure what to make of this given others have enjoyed it recently. Perhaps an off bottle but certainly not something I would want to hold on to any longer.

This was immediately accessible but benefited from 45 min in the glass. A very well balanced wine with plush upfront fruit. Overall a well judged wine that’s in its prime with another decade of good drinking ahead of it.

Double decanted for 2 hours, deep ruby, black cherries with a touch of vanilla, med. tannins, long finish; outstanding, drink or preferably hold as it continued to improve throughout the meal

1 hour slow ox in glass. Full bodied, intense and layered with black currant, anise, molasses, earth, wild flowers. The nose is intoxicating. Coravin'd half and was equally good on Day 2. 96+
