Similar notes to my TN of 12/5/2020. The only things I would add are that (1) this had taken on a bit more complexity and (2) my "drink by" estimate of 2024 is too narrow. I have two more bottles which I hope to resist opening for another 5 years. Well done, as always, Paul and Stefania!

The 2014 SCV continues to impress. For the price, this is insanely good. Full, rich, dark plum with licorice, eucalyptus, and some green stemmy undercurrent. Other bottlings (Chaine d'Or, Crimson & Clover, Santa Cruz Mtns) might have more finesse, but this SCV is a winner. Drink or hold (through 2024).

This really turned the corner after 45 minutes, opening up into a very pleasurable bottle. Plenty of life it seems.
