Quite lemony and tart to start and particularly when colder, then a little yeasty and leesy as it gets warmer. Definitely not past but probably not getting any better. Was good accompaniment to chicken stew.

SloOx for 4-5 hours. Strong tobacco and dark, dark cherry. Sweetness from heavy oak presence. Perfect accompaniment for American steakhouse dinner. Totally pleasant at this time. I was surprised to see it is 15.4%. Not sure whether it will develop any substantive tertiary elements.

Initially, gooseberry prominent on the nose, then more citrus and stone fruit both in smell and taste. Not as fresh and vibrant as a younger version would be. Not flabby either, but definitely enjoyable for someone who likes a bit of sauvignon blanc. We will be drinking the remaining bottles by the end of the year.
