  I think this has 5 years left at least. Still quite youthful, bright fruits.

  Delicious red raspberry, spice, earthy notes on the open nose and layered palate with resolving tannins on the long finish. Drinking beautifully!

  Really nice. Spicy nose with a little lingering stemminess. The fruit has moved to a bit of raspberry and maybe apricot. I think fully resolved so not sure where it goes from here but glad to have it tonight.
