From half. Same as 18 months ago. Best with PnP with lots of sweet cherry on the firm, smooth palate. After 30 minutes becomes a little less balanced with more drying tannins and crisp acidity. Probably very long life ahead, 20-25 years from vintage.

This half was still drinking very well but best first hour open. Not too sweet, with drying tannins and an invigorating salinity adding contrast to the candied red fruits.

Drinks like a sweet Cabernet, deep, dense, moderately sweet, balanced with minerals and drying tannins. Went well with ribs in a sweet BBQ sauce.

From .375 left open all day. Sweet but balanced and not cloying. Good for one glass.

Deep ruby. Same note as this past Summer. Should be consumed by 2016. Drank from .375 with twist cap.
