  Very dry and certainly capable for aging for many more. Grabbed this one out of the cellar when I was in a bit of hurry and without consulting w/ CT as I normally do. Had I noticed the 2032 Drink by, I might have held off a while longer and chosen a different bottle. Additionally, given the cold temps of my cellar during the month of Feb here in NH, I needed to warm it up a bit in short time and reverted to my old standby...setting it on top of a trivet on our wood stove for a couple of minutes and then holding the bottle by its neck and slowly rotating it over the top of the stove to bring the temp up a few more degrees. I know it sounds frightening but no worries, it always takes place in under 5 minutes, and IMO, has yet to adversely affect the wine! Sorry, but I would rather enjoy a glass a bit closer to room temp than drink it far too cold, even if that means going through what some might consider to be extreme measures to get it there. ;)
  
  A deep dark red that is very dry on the pallet, black cherry, clear remnants of fig, pepper, and long mouth puckering finish. A splendid wine, to be frank. Had I the patience to put the cork back in and drink the second half tomorrow, I have little doubt that it would have aged splendidly. I love this wine and give huge props to Ryme Cellars for producing another winner! ...just wished they continued to distribute their wines in NH :(
