Drinks really well, definitely a pop and pour.
Lots of fruit and very soft hands.

Lovely flavor but no finish. I’d love to drink a fresher one.

Very well balanced and very smooth tannins. easy drinking. No strongly predominant fruit, though can easily note a bit of tobacco, vanilla, fig, and blackberry. Traci and Tara

Fay all day. Instantly drinkable, and agree that this is ready now. Decanted. Medium soft tannins, dark fruit, a bit of dried fig. Medium bodied and paired perfect with roasted meat. Decent finish of vanilla and cedar but doesn’t have the structure of their SLV or Cask 23. Drink 2018-2022 at the very latest.

Magnum bottle - this has laser focused acidity and tannin and is not too extracted - tending toward the old world. This will age for decades.
