Opened and decanted (recommend decanting). Had some Brett at first (slight Dijon mustard and band-aid) that started to blow off after 15 minutes. Opens with cherry liquor, forest floor, and incense/spice (very CdV like). Darker color and richer Cherryish fruit (undeniably an excellent vintage). Fruit starting to drop off a bit; but still plenty. Very soft palate. This wine is in it’s drinkable window. Excellent; but don’t hesitate to drink now!

Wow wine. Great color, no signs of age. Deep nose of red tart berry. Palate of dark cherry and camphor that lingers for a long time, with soft tannins that stick to your teeth. This baby still drinking young in my view. Will be delicious for years.

My red WOTN. Smells great. Accents of spice, pine needle, slight fall leaves, mint. Darker fruit tones. Lots going on here and a pleasure to drink.
