A little sweet for me, but well made overall. Likely doesn't have many years left (I assume it had more structure when it was younger to balance the sweet fruit), so drink up.

Decanted one hour - just a tiny bit of sediment. Deep ruby. Fairly sweet nose of black and blue berries, kirsch and smokey oak. Plush, slightly savory black cherry fruit with a little chocolate and oak. Medium bodied but rich, seems to have a dollop of Merlot. Nicely balanced with enough stuffing to last another 5ish years. Big "Yum" from my wife.

Tasty, but likely a year or two away from peak. It shed some off green/vegetal notes as it was open for more than an hour. Give it until 2024 if you can

Smooth and balanced. Still strong fruit with an even finish. Still another year or two left I think.

seems to be falling out of a drinking window... somewhat muted, finish getting a little flat. I don't see upside
