Great early and late on the palate, flat in the middle. Still vibrant fruit (cherry pie) evident throughout but especially in the finish. Not spectacular but respectable and worthy of another taste an hour or two after uncorking.

The nose was yielding very little, but on the palate this was very nice. Darker fruit on the light side with some earth and decent acidity to hold its length. Not one for the long term but should be very good now through the next couple of years. A great match for pork chops topped with a gruyere/mustard blend a la Robin Garr.

Cherry leaps from the glass, but the nose is really this wine's only great feature. The palate fruity and tends toward elegance, but is a bit short in the mid-palate and lacking any structure. Not for cellaring, but great to drink now.

Dark, fleshy. Very lively on the palate. Eminently cellarable through 1012.
