Needed an hour of air to round out. Ripe strawberry, raspberry cherry. Slightly high toned acid. Fruit starting to take on that fuzziness that I associate with a lot of Oregon as it ages (which I don’t enjoy). I wouldn’t age this wine from here, but would give it a decant.

Ripe and ready...drink up! Nez : cerises mûrs...confites...sucrées, épices/bois, sous-bois, tabac, ainsi que des notes florales...caoutchouc on dirait ! Souple, léger, fondu, gouleyant avec des saveurs de fruits rouges mûrs et d'épices...sucre d'orge. Longue finale...soupçon de griottes. Très bon mais sur son déclin tant qu'à moi. 91++

Showing a bit of age. Lighter color than previous tastings. Air brought out the fruit. Strawberry, cinnamon, baking spices, smoke. Quite a bit of smoke on the palate. Still has plenty of structure, so might last a bit longer, but the fruit dissipation makes me suggest drinking soon.

Pushing too old, needed some air, black cherry with some smoke and a tart red fruit finish
