TN: 2015 Rivers Marie, Panek Vineyard

No decanting, just drank over a couple of hours. Very elegant wine, with lots of mainly red fruit. Smells very nice, and the palate is even better, and lasts a long time. The tannins are subdued, not noticible. Very easy wine to drink right now. Delicious wine, too bad only one bottle left now.

Probably better with a juicy, fatty Rib Eye, rather than sipping, as there is some acidity.

Thanks Otto. I sometimes feel myself too paralyzed by FOMO to ever open wines that I know have the potential to be great for me. I once caught a 2011 RM Panek at the right moment, best cab I ever had.

So I wait and probably let the “right” moment pass me by. Your note reminds me to open these potentially special bottles more often.
