Similar experience to my last bottle - really nice red fruit and backed up by good acid. Plenty of life left. Winderlea's reds definitely need time to show their best - minimum of eight years from vintage based on my experience.

Nice deep red fruit and earth on the nose, with hints of ground spices. Medium plus tannins with a silky mouthfeel. As I try more of my 2012 Winderleas I'm now convinced I was drinking them way too young. The last couple are just coming into a good spot.

Popped n poured the first night, but only managed one glass, which I found lovely: red fruit with semi-savory character. Tonight, it’s more Burgundian, with a bit more tautness, bordering on tartness (but not going there), and the finish, as others note, is, at best, medium-long. But great with food, in this case cheese board.

Oxidized. Strange give wine was purchased from the producer and cellared at 58 degrees since.
