Friday, March 20, 2015 - Opened approximately 2 hours prior to serving. Quite closed initially, with some reduction present. The nose is all red fruit and whole-cluster spices at first, before giving way to forest floor and some oak. Good balance and typicity. Nice acidity keeps the raspberry/strawberry in check, and a little anise mixed with black pepper and baking spices add dimension. Not the most complex wine but very satisfying and a real pleasure to drink. A touch rough on the tannins but that could be due to the wines youth.
