  Gifted this wine just a few days ago and decided to enjoy with our pan blackened ribeyes, baked potato, and charred peppers & onions. Gave it an hour in the decanter then poured for all. Beautifully aged with soft red fruit, fine, perfectly integrated tannins and a slight bead of acidity running through it. In a good place right now (and given the acidity has some time left) as the fruit has not fully trailed off yet. Paired very well against the herbed butter atop the ribeyes. We all enjoyed this bottle. Thanks, Joe!

  This is a rare miss by N&N. Will update if it opens up but not betting on it.

  Needed 1 1/2 hrs decanting before waking up.

  Was expecting more. Light on taste.
  
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like chocolate, blackberry and cranberry. It tastes like blackberry, cranberry and dust. The body is light. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.
