This one is ready to go. Huge nose of mushrooms, licorice, black cherry. Med body, med acidity, integrated tannins still present enough to provide good structure. Balanced palate matches the nose with a delicious combination of fruit and earth, leather, mushroom flavors. This wine surpassed expectations. Very good and seems to have at least 5 more good years left.

The note from two years ago holds, with some refinement in the mouthfeel, this has a very silky balance to the low tannins and acidity, with a great finish to go along with it.

Jammy, tart out of the bottle, evened out after 30 minutes in the decanter. This wine will age well for a couple more years but is ready to drink now with an hour or two of air.

Still showing great. Nice earth and cherry on the nose. Licorice cherry and light tannins. Lost a little on finish but was still great.
