took an hour to show its stuff; complex and classy; a bit lean, with mineral and savory notes; the fruit was fading faster than the structure on day three

23 months after the prior: again, savory and elegant, and again with suggestions of ground white pepper. Harmonious, and generally friendly — especially when compared with the same vintage of porcupine hill, which was, by comparison, quite closed. This Home bottle was very enjoyable over three months. (We just ordered one Home 2019, after seeing it’s gone up substantially in price.)

This elegant and spicy wine was delicious tonight - not profound, but tasty. Light red in color; light in body; aromas of pie cherry, dried cranberry, underbrush, and eucalyptus. Flavors of raspberry, mashed strawberry, and dried herbs, with an elegant and somewhat crunchy finish. 12.3% alcohol. Decant two hours if drinking now.
Although I'm not usually a fan of the Home Vineyard, this held its own next to a 2017 Raphet Vougeot. The Rhys was a touch more fruity and less refined than the Raphet, but it was still in the same ballpark, if not near the same base. 93+ for now, with upside in 2023 or later.
