A lot to like here and very much at the top of its game IMO. Sediment in the bottle consisted of large solids. Wine was decanted for an hour (~60 degrees on tasting), there was tart cherry on the nose with lots of earthy notes like forest floor, mushroom, tea and some leather. All together very appealing. Taste confirmed the nose plus some light raspberry and cherry. Body is medium, smooth texture, acid and tannins still present but taking a backseat. Finish was medium and consistent. I have one more bottle and will drink it this year.

PnD. Let air for 2hrs.
Consistent with previous notes. Showing signs of maturity and maybe fading a bit. Drink up while there is still some nice fruit.

PnP deep red fruit and a lot of wood on the nose. Faint trace of smoke. Mouth filling and back of the throat burning tannins (not alcohol-hot, though). No sediment in bottle. Smoothed out after decant + an hour but never came together. Prior bottles made a better impression.
