Very nice floral aromas. Rounded tannins with nicely integrated acidity. Rounded mouthfeel. Dark fruit flavors with a long finish. Nicely done with some years to go. Drinking perfectly now.

Prior notes by SDOG is spot on. Nothing on the nose. The alcohol was overwhelming with no fruit just raisin and prune notes with wood. In prior years this was much better. Times past on these which given the vintage indicates Tapestry is meant for short to medium term drinking not this long.

Nose didn’t show much, mostly alcohol, burnt wood, and spice, no fruit.
In the mouth, it was a full bodied wine with still quite noticeable tannin. Fruit has mostly faded with just some raisin/prune notes. Finish was a little hot and slightly unbalanced with too much oak and spice. Not elegant at all and the wine felt like a brute. Was better with a fatty rib-eye and with some air, but overall, felt a bit past prime. The wine was too savory with little acidity and no fruity flavors for my palate.

Drinking very young, loads of dark fruit, cassis, blackberry,, hints of cedar and spice, but still too youthful at 16 years old for a lot of secondary notes, integrated tannins, very enjoyable, maybe lacked a little structure/backbone.
