I tasted this after it had been open for a full 24 hours--it was super tannic on day one.
On day two, the wine has started to open a little. Now there's cassis, dark cherry, some tomato leaf, and a bit of pencil lead on the nose. On the palate, the tannin is still there, but the fruit is starting to balance it a little. This wine has a ton of depth, and I can tell it's going to go for a long, long time. Bury these for at least a decade.

Although this had some nice features, it didn't seem they were working well together at this time. It seemed to lead with gritty tannins, and finish with the acidity in a backward fashion. Angles and elbows, like fighting Pacquiao. Park my other two for a while. Not rating.

Much better intergrated than prior bottle. But still needs more time.

Very elegant and structured. Paired with roast pork and root vegetables, and butternut squash soup.

PnP'd. Still young, but drank well. Very very classic in style and structure. Clearly the Neufelds are a young new couple to watch.
