Drained half the bottle via coravin several nights ago. Tonight pulled the cork, with notes from pop and pour.
Still catching hints of green on the nose along with flowers, vanilla, red cherries. The mouthfeel is integrated and elegant, and the red fruit seems bright and vibrant if not as well integrated as the tannins. There are herbs and smoke as well.
While this is my last bottle of the vintage i do believe this may add another point or so with more bottle time or air.
Decent wine from a challenging vintage. Interested to sample wines produced by current wine maker Matt. Was a BIG Pride fan when Bob Foley was winemaker. interesting that the pride website only speaks to today and none of their history.

Drinking beautifully tons of cassis, vanilla, shows oak but well integrated. Big finish. Still tannic. Should age well for at least another 5 years but don’t hesitate to drink now.

Soft tannins, sufficient acid. Loads of black fruit that builds into a nice finish. Very nice wine. No sign of age.

Drinking well - Color, body is perfect. Tannins are smoothed out. Nice berry, wood, oak flavors.
