See IDKDAVID’s note. Fabulous, red and blue fruit nose, a little medicinal at start. Resolved tannins. Wonderful attack on the palate, but just a little short at the mid palate and finish.
In a perfect place right now. No shake, no decant, just singing. An island wine.

Very reductive start, this took an hour+ in decanter to mostly resolve. Ripe red and black cherry on nose and palate, aging gracefully with wonderful balance and good weight for its level. Good now, this should drink well through the decade.

Heavenly for my palate. Perfumed notes of red fruits with a touch of leather. Resolved smooth tannins, red fruits, some tertiary leather bound book vibes, integrated acidity. No rough edges, with a nice blend of youthful and aged flavors. It was very subtle, balanced, and extremely easy to drink. I would drink this again in a heartbeat. Incredibly pleasurable.

Beautiful on PNP; improved with shake (released a fair hiss) then a 2 hr decant.
Bright red fruit on the nose with sweet fruit on the palate and very good tannins. Air adds complexity and depth.
