A nice 2nd growth, that I think could have used a bit more time to develop in bottle. Light and floral nose, with very balanced tanins, and a touch of spice with vegetal notes as a counterpoint to the dark fruit which was a touch too understated. But very nice nonetheless.

Very nice wine with a good balance of tanin and fruit. Drank very nicely with the Italian meal we had. Overall drinking very nicely right now.

Good, but not great and memorable. Better on the nose than the palate...I actually found it a bit flat.
