I like this quite a bit on pNp. As others have noted, it is pretty and delicate in both nose and mouth, and earns points for finesse more than power or heft. Relatively light ruby color, with surprisingly evident thick legs. Has a rather candied, pretty cherry/strawberry nose that is all about delicacy. Mouth is ripe, round, racy, sexy. Very much feminine in style, and in this wine, that is a very good thing. Just exudes oodles of pretty fruit, certainly in the flavors but especially in its ethereal aroma. Very well done, and drinking wonderfully right now. Shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, but is so good now there is no reason to delay gratification. 5-13-17-9: 94/100.

Very light, delicate wine; smells of cherries, light blackberries and licorice; also lightweight on the palate; red berry; mineral; some forest floor; very lively due to the quite crisp acidity; the tannins make themselves felt late and are fine; medium-long finish.

Fragrant, open nose - red fruit, spices, minerality, earthy notes. On the palate fresh and intense, not overly generous, ripe tannins. Very elegant and harmonious. Nice finish, very good length. Drink or keep. 92-94

Surprisingly good. With grilled burgers, grilled asparagus, and yes, grilled strawberries.
