This limited, reserve-level wine spent 15 months in neutral oak and another nine in bottle, yet still seems a bit closed down. The barrel aging has helped to smooth out some rugged tannins, and the cranberry-cherry fruit flavors are crisp and vibrant. It may yet show its best stuff with additional bottle age; for now a good decanting is recommended.
