Sunday, September 20, 2015 - Northern Rhone in style, cedar, strawberry, ham, oily texture. This is very good by itself but won't be good against other wines due to style.

Also I've had this wine in lineups before (other vintages) and it showed terrible. If this is in a lineup of similar structured wines it would probably hold up.
