Warm, brick red with ruby flecks. Earth, mushroom and iron minerality on the nose.Vibrant, tart red fruit--almost like unripe strawberries, in a good way. Slight citrus pith notes in the exceedingly long finish. Like the final piano chord in "A Day in the Life," this finish goes on forever. At 10 yeaars old, this wine seems at its peak with a great balance of earth and fruit.

Popped and poured. Nose of mushroom, fennel, and minerals. Raspberry and a little pepper in the mouth. Great acidity and some peek-a-boo tannins. Moderately long finish. Intriguing wine. Drinking nicely now, but I'd really love to see this wine in 5 more years.
