I’ve had left this wine to mature and reduce the oak influence for several years. Nose is muted with subtle with vague hints of cherry and plum. The fruit is muted cherry with a little bitterness/sourness on the posterior central tongue. The oak has diminished and so has the fruit, though the tannins and structure are fine. Color is fine and magenta to the rim. Disappointing but decent. Poor QPR for a Chad.

Browning now at the rim, short finish with overt PV tannic bite. Not purchasing Chad NDA wines from Wine Access any longer. Better deals have been de Negoce wines at a much better price, with far superior quality.

I sat on this purchase for nearly 4 years and my time has been greatly awarded. Most wonderful from the open and throughout the evening without significant change to next evening. Deep garnet, smooth tannins and structure with long finish. Very impressive.

Still on the fence with this one and possibly still too young for consumption.

Not nearly the wine that the Chad Knights Valley 2019! This was only okay, but certainly not up to the price.
