  Ignoring my last note, popped this with a quick decant and some steaks. This is way too young and doesn’t present the best QPR today, but I’m very confident there’s a flip coming in another 5-10 years when secondary notes come in. This wine is all about quality, finesse and restraint and has potential to be 95+ with time.

  Decanted and began drinking. Plum, currant with earth and herb notes. Seamless medium bodied. Early in the drinking window and certainly has upside.

  Drank at Kari’s. Tracy DOES NOT Like. Maybe too young? Some reviews said that.

  Found its balance after 3 hrs in wide decanter. Black fruits, violets and some green notes. Grippy tannins, a little heat on the back palate, but in general a round mouthfeel. This has upside with cellar time, and I will wait at least 5 years until I open my next bottle.
