Crimson color. Not green in flavor (2011 can have some of this). Light, dusty cherries. A toss of minerals. A little light-ish in body. Downish vintage shows in shortish finish. This was on edge all night. Just a little bit of vitamin B in there too - a little medicinal. This just couldn't get over the hump for me and I've had some good ones in other vintages. I'm writing this off to the vintage. I spent a fair amount of time visiting with this wine and tasting and retasting. I enjoyed it, but not very giving or generous overall. 89

Ruby hue aromatics were a bit light but palate was fine with elegance and some body on back end but it really shone after 24 hours and was emaculate with a roast duck the next day.

Decent but not much going on in terms of depth. Not on the downslope but likely not getting better.
