This is quite a nice wine.....not overly big, but still flavorful and with a nice full mouth-feel. Perhaps at a bit of a 'tweener stage between fruity and savory and not quite really being either. Enough acidity and tannin to provide the structure to go longer

Plenty of spice to the nose along with blood plum and raspberry fruit. It is deep and dense in the mouth with ripe fruits that have a meaty edge. It is quite plush texturally speaking and has ripe tannins carrying the finish.

Perhaps a bit tight and closed, it opened up somewhat over several hours, with a descent dose of minerality, subdued fruit flavors, some earth, no apparent brett. Nice mouthfeel. More on the balanced, and less on the big bruiser side of the spectrum than I expected. Tannins fine and in balance....while not particularly apparent, I think this has the balance to age.

A pleasant, smooth, slightly subtle wine. A bit savory, with a good nose. This wine seems to be more on a fading than evolving trajectory.
