  Drink now, on the downslope. Still has a lot of reductive fruit but didn’t hold in too long in the glass.

  I bought this directly from the winery and loved it almost too much not to save. Stored at 56 degrees. But it is even better now, crisp, elegant and balanced. No strong fruit but subtle hints of currant, licorice, rhubarb, berry and cherry. Impressive polish now. Saving my last bottle for next year.

  Very disappointed with this bottle. Heavily extracted fruit up front, barely any secondary flavors, and no finish to speak of. The tannins are just gone from this bottle.

  Needed a little time to open. Still has some red fruit flavors, but more muted than I remember. A touch of vanilla on the finish. Drink up if holding.

  slight bricking around the edges
  Nose has lots of secondary notes of cinnamon, spice, sweet tobacco
  
  palate is slightly sweet, showing the alc, nice secondary flavors with the sweet tobacco, leather and a decent finish.
  This feels like its on the downhill side. Still nice though.
