Notes from 2020:"Bright ruby color, translucent. Nose showing dark raspberry, cherry cola, spice, dried flowers. Smooth and polished palate shows bright red fruits, red licorice, minerals, floral pastille. Red fruits, cherry candy persist through the mid palate. Medium weight, medium/long finish..."
The decant gave this a chance to evolve more than last showing. From memory, the wine seemed to have more depth than last showing. Still evolving, in a great spot now. Should have a long arc in front of it. Crowd loved this one...

One hour double decant. Deep hazy rosy ruby color. Bing cherry, slate, grapefruit, and powdered sugar on the nose. Smooth, dry, glossy palate, with fine acidity. Firm, low intensity tannins on the longish finish. This is drinking beautifully at the moment.

Chez Christy - getting the band back together - Brian/Jen, Pat/Arantza (Oxford, Maryland): Fun to share this wine with the group, doing a detour into Oregon wine was a nice add to the range of wines. Double decanted back into the bottle. Had this open pre dinner for a taste, with appetizer course as well.

We both agree that this is as tasted 6-1/2 months ago... a delicious bottle capable of holding here an additional couple of years.

Flawed and unrated... not so subtly corked.
