  Purchased years ago at Chambers Street. Bright cherry tones on the nose and the palate. At first pour it looks younger than stated age. This has an optimal amount of acidity, well resolved tannins, and wonderful balance. Quite food friendly yet absolutely a delight sipping before and after dinner. My last bottle - I wish I had more !

  In a nice drinking window. Tannins well resolved and silky.
  On initial pour a touch acidic with some earthy tones and ash (in a positive way). Improving over the next several hours, and pairing well with cheese and a meat dish. The next day still held strong with additional tertiary notes. A satisfying bottle at a very nice point in its life.

  Quite light and translucent in the glass, approaching the spectrum of a rosé. As others have noted floral and airy, delicate tones of red berries. Balanced acidity. Absence of oak, very pure and lifting in the mouth.
  
  An excellent choice if you're looking for a wine pairing that won't overpower a light dish or delicate cheese. Certainly not for everyone - admirers of the bold and forward should stay away. If the occasion calls for a light graceful red, this is certainly worth a try.
