Juicy and fruity, typical Myriad concentration, tannins are very smooth but there is still some good astringency to cut through a fatty meal. Was similar on day 2, so for me is in prime drinking window.

Very dark in the glass. Black Cherry and blackberry fruit. Nice vanilla undertones. Medium long finish. Plenty of time on these so no need to rush drinking.

Splash decanted. Big ripe style, with stags leap black fruits. Casmir texture. Has some showy oak with vanilla and coconut notes. Bit of dryness on the finish. Shows a bit of heat on the nose and palate which keeps this from a higher level in my view. (RW not a fan)

Opened on Friday night with about an hour's worth of air. This was much better on the first few sips, really nice mouthfeel and full bodied, super charged Mike Smith wine. Beautiful bouquet.
Monitoring it over the night, it got increasingly shut down for business. Dry as a bone, sour cherry notes, big tannins. Still have 2 glasses to drink today, and will update my note accordingly.
If drinking now, drink on PnP. Otherwise, I would hold for a few years to see if this improves over age.

Very smooth, predominately cherry notes floating on top of strawberry and blueberry; there is some degree of oak present here and some tannins but drinking well albeit early.
