Popped and poured last night. Dark purple to the rim. Nose of currants, black cheries and cocao. Rich creamy fruit in the mouth with cherries, plum and currants. Soft tannins and nice finish. One of the better vintages from this winery. 90 pts.

Thanks for the note. I think I still have a couple of these in storage. Would you have any thoughts on the remaining drinking window?

I'd drink them up. Of all the Chimney Rock Iv'e had they don't seem to be more than a ten year wine from release.
