Opened up fast with nice structure, but did not hold up to air long. Drink now.

Pretty classy with dark fruits and some dry leaf underneath. Dare I say it's slightly Burgundian? Still young at 7.

Very much on the masculine side. Didn't quite come together even after a lot of air. Drink/Hold per Rhys, but I'd give it more time.

Elegant and beautiful, but hide this away for another 5-10 years.

A little oaky at this point but I liked it a lot. Much more lush than the Alpine. Will keep buying the Rhys.

Bright red fruit. Just needed the oak to integrate a little more to balance it all out.
