Medium ruby. Healthy nose of sharp red berry, heady high pitched violets, earth, damp cellar. Layers of youthful delicious raspberry, holiday spices, fine iron shards, hints of oak, fine earth on the satiny palate. Fresh acidity and firm but fine-grained tannin. Long finish of lifted red berry, iron flecks, and tart bramble. Already delicious, this wine is stacked for future glories. Opened to celebrate L’s 75th.

Translucent medium-ruby. Deep nose of potent smoky plum, healthy damp cellar, late-arriving but nostril-filling violets, astringent brambles, earth. Layers of brilliant crunchy cherry and raspberry fruit girded by iron and earthy briar on the ebullient palate. Firm tannin counterpointed by fresh, almost brash acidity. Long finish of echoing red berry, iron granules, fine earth. Young, energetic wine brimming with life. Long evolution ahead.

Translucent medium ruby. Lifted, steely nose of rose petal, focused red strawberry, berry, crushed stone. On the palate, so much gorgeous, detailed red berry fruit somehow blossoming on the crisp, laser-like frame. Brisk acidity and smoothed tannin. Long finish of slightly tart but ultimately sweet red berry anchored in iron and noble earth. This wine is propelled by exquisite balance, energy, and precision. Brilliant showing.
