  A great but not amazing wine, if that makes sense. Another winner from Lancaster but it’s not my favorite vintage from them - a bit over-oaked in my view. Crowd pleaser - my wife and mom both loved it. I liked but not loved it. Big, bold, deeply structured. Still quite a bit of fruit, so could actually go a few years longer. Blackberry, a bit of blueberry, lots of vanilla, some tobacco and leather. Well balanced, long finish. Good qpr at $38-40. Decant it for sure - this opened up a lot after 2 hours.

  A great go to wine. Opens up over time. Decanted for two hours. Big and bold but drinks smoothly. Probably has another 3 years before peak.

  PnP, initially very subdued and restrained, drank over 4 hours and in which time it opened up significantly to reveal a beautiful wine!

  From a 1.5L. Nice inviting nose of red fruits, the wine took a couple hours to open up after being very tight initially from POP. Red cherry and cranberry fruit with subtle oak spice, did not get the chocolate that other tasters have noted. Tannins did subside with air, but this big bottle format needed more time, like 5-10 years to show its best. Pulled the cork a bit too soon, but very tasty wine nonetheless.
