Drank Christmas evening; coravin; tannins are overwhelming out of the gate; tough to tell what you're drinking when it's entirely grippy; almost acidic; let it sit for a bit in the glass; calmed down after about twenty minute; darker and deeper berries w smoother finish; a brooding wine -- all in probably needs a ton of time to decant and maybe you get rewarded big time.

First bottle ever of Penultimate. Very nice and complex wine. Tannins were still very gripping to this vintage. As more air and time got to this wine in the glass things started to open up showing rich lush fruit flavors. Finish was very long and with or without food this wine drank smoothly. I didn’t decant this bottle and it continued to get better and better as the night rolled along.

Lightly spicy, but not too much so. Dry but not too acidic. Phenomenal.
