This wine is in a good place right now. Plenty of dark fruit very soft tannins. Sultry, wraps your tongue in a warm blanket of fruity chocolate and a touch of earthy menthol.

Pop and pour that sat for two additional hours in the bottle. Definitely extracted and borderline syrupy but somehow maintains freshness. Ready to drink with structure still intact but all elements fully integrated. Sticky raspberry, cola, cool minerality, cassis, and dark chocolate. In prime drinking now and likely for another year.

Very nice, very easy to drink, smooth. Nicely combines a ripe, fruit-driven style with some stem, pencil led, and dried herbs. Some sweetness from the oak, but not overdone there. Contains its 14.8% abv very well. Fairly modern style and not notably complex. Drank after decanting about an hour. This is sturdy and could lay down for years more, unsure of further development.

PnP with decant and drank over 60 min. Tasted like a baby Merus. Whooped ass vs a 2005 Meteor reserve. Perfume nose with blue and blackberry liqueur notes. Faint tannins. This was a good wine.

Firm tannins, hearty mouth feel, dark chocolate, cassis, slight mint on finish. Amazing bottle.
