2024 New Year's Day Double Blind Tasting: Fully mature and on the down slope. Tasted pretty good straight out of the bottle but it fell apart quickly in the glass. This is one that needs to be consumed in the first 15 minutes after opening it.

This bottle has been stored in a cellar since release. The cork was in good shape. There is still some tart cranberry fruit but mostly tertiary characteristics are present: black tea, earthy undertones, and a touch of leather. The tannin is resolved. This is a fully mature feminine wine. Fun to taste at the age of 34.
