Briefly Decantered, back in the bottle and drunk over a few hours. Young, has good stuffing and should turn out well. Well made CS, but no real sense of place (sadly). Good though, but probably best left alone for a few years. 93-95

Over two nights. Svelte with good intensity, dark fruit, some blackberry, faint pencil. Nice wine. I prefer this to the ‘05 and 15 I’ve had in the last couple of years. Possibly some upside as it approaches drinking window. 93-95

Dark fruit, good acidity, felt fresh with good form and nice structure. About 93/95 for me. Will likely improve, but felt somewhat open for business with appropriate air time
