Delicious. Still has a LOT of fruit. Presents as a “young” wine. Plenty of tannin and acid. This wine has many years to go before “end of life”. The drinking range dates should be updated.

Structurally it’s all there and the nose is nice if subtler than you’d expect but by no means is this fully ready, particularly on the palate. Don’t open again until 2025+.

Initial meatier/iron notes on the initial pour. Waited an hour after decant to go back to the wine and consumed over 2-3 hours. Excellent balance, resolved tannins. Developing tertiary characteristics on the nose, slightly less developed on the palate. It's drinking well now, but still has some of tension/tightness that makes me think it should drink well for the next decade.

PNP, drinking well right now, definitely improved over last bottle. Less oak, well balanced tannins and acidity and nice fruit now. 91
