The word that is brought to the fore us “crystalline.” Burnt orange / reddish brown but clear. The nose is relatively quiet but with air earth tones dominate a subtle fruit base. On the palate there is a clear ring of cherry and a silky line of acid to the attack, and a fluid and clear mid palate that leads to soil dominant features and a medium long clear finish.

3.5 years after the prior, and alas, our last: this was absolutely lovely. Translucent copper/orange, with a touch of brown. Still very much full of lovely savory character, with, now, just a suggestion of pleasant funk. Highly enjoyable and very versatile with a variety of foods over three nights. We will have to look for recent vintages.

Our sixth. Consistent with our prior note, sorry to have only one more. Dark fruit. Earth, minerality, precision, freshness. No hint of funk. Very enjoyable over three nights.

The nose on this shows a very dense fruit, as well as some earthy funk (not decaying earth, but rather of a more mineral type). The palate is clean and crisp, with plenty of sweet red fruit. There's good acidity, crisp fruit, and a very nice lightness here. This is soft and eminently drinkable, and likely just a bit better if served slightly chilled.

Consistent with our prior notes, but even better -- it seems to have picked up tertiary complexity. Lovely over three nights.
