Drank in WP. Forgot to take detailed notes, but this is rounding into form nicely. The tannins still have some bite, so I think these can go at least 5-7 more years. Was nice with food. Lots of red fruit and good acidity. IMO the drinking window here on CT (ending in 2024) is much too short.

Smoothed out well with multi-hour decant. Still has granny tannins that fan out on the finish. Good fruit still going strong. A bit hollow on the mid palate. Body is a bit thin. Maybe a bit past its prime?

Tannins are still pronounced. Dark red fruits still needs time.

Broad, elegant and multilayered.
Still has some edges that will eventually smooth out with time.
Vivid acidity and well present but balanced tannins.
Truly nice with lots of aging potential.
