  2 years later: red up front, nose and mouth. Full integration, very smooth transitions into the scant core and towards the finish on somewhat diminished acidity. This is our last bottle and I'm happy finishing it now, I think the Geminis are best young when they really throw all that redness in your face.

  Red up front, darker in the core with earth and slight pepper fading out on decent acidity. Side-by-side with the 2017, this showed the same core flavors with much more integration and blunting of acidity... as you'd expect from 8 years longer in the bottle.

  Opened up nicely with decanting. Smooth. Lots of spice.

  Cloaked. No there there. Either it's way too early, or this is a wine that will never arrive. I'd hedge toward the latter due to the vintage, but who knows when this will open. Also oddly astringent.
