This bottle was slightly underwhelming and it needed a lot of time opening up to just give a little bit of fruit. When it does open up, it was dense and had a good acidity but still felt a bit muted in the fruit. I am hoping that this was just a slightly off bottle.

Has started to shed some of its youthful dense fruit and is opening up nicely. Still has lots of dried cherry flavors but the acidity is very nice and making the wine quite enjoyable. Starting to show some nice complexity, wet dirt, leaves and leather.

Lovely and good fruit depth. Still plenty of compact and sweet fruit. Classic and lovely.

Lovely and open for easy drinking. Dried fruit with a good persistence and a medium aftertaste. Great wine with a very long drinking window.

Consistent with previous note. Nice and open with a good depth. Drinking very nicely right now if you enjoy the dried fruit character.
