21 months after the prior, our fourth and last: And this was the best. Indeed, it is showing some tertiary characteristics, along with good acid backbone. It’s evolved beautifully. In our experience, this may be the best example over many years of this bottling. Lovely over three nights, gassed in between. Wish we had more.

Decanted about an hour before serving with grilled steaks. Initially very fruity. But with even more air it got more perfumes and minerally. Medium+ acidity, soft texture/mouthfeel. Long raspberry and mint finish. Very elegant and delicious.

PnP, started out tight and could have benefitted for a short decant. Opened with red cherry, strawberry, red raspberry, light herbal and a hint of earthiness. Medium body, good acidity. Flavors of red cherry, strawberry, red raspberry, spice, herbs and light earthiness. Light tannins in a short finish.

A little earthier, a little more voluptuous than my last tasting. Has fruit and is gaining tertiary.

From a 375. Needs 30 minutes to open and resolve.
