Wow, have been holding this for a long time, waiting for additional notes to surface. Finally pulled the cork and let air in the bottle below shoulder for about 2 hours before drinking. Great fruit and just starting to show secondary flavors. Still dark purple color, so suspect this could go for some time ... if I had another bottle, I'd be looking to pull in 2018~19.

This bottle seemed a bit like it was just trying to come alive but it wasn't quite ready yet. 3 hour decant and it was extremely pleasing just not there yet. Drink from 2016-2020

This was a lovely wine. No formal notes. It was enjoyed by all.

Still a young colt...good bones that will hold up.
Hold at least until 2018.
