Sadly, my last bottle. Consistent with previous notes only this wine is now at peak and is therefore perfectly balanced, with good weight and fruit on the palate, and a juicy, elegant, lengthy finish. Was outstanding with meatloaf but did just as well on its own. Drink now over the next five years. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.

Blind Wine Tasting (Home): This one struggled in the tasting group. Came across as austere and lighter bodied at first, with gamey aromas. Opened up later to more blackberry fruit, but still retained a somewhat bitter, hard finish. Definitely more of a food wine, though great to get into a tasting of this sort.

Consistent with previous notes 21 months ago, except more dark and red fruit has emerged, bringing more precise nuances of raspberries and blackberries against wild herbs, roasted game meat, and mixed cherries. Very linear but well-balanced, juicy, and immensely drinkable. Paired nicely with pizza and salad. Enjoy over the next 5-10 years.
