With enough air, this opens into a pretty wine featuring lots of bitter cherry, oolong tea, and some pronounced earthiness. Just the vaguest hint of Pinot sweetness to the fruit. Medium finish with plenty of 08 acid. Good wine, but imho it would benefit from just a little more fleshiness. Hold, or decant for at least an hour.

Nose is kind of murky, not giving up much. But still a beauty on the palate. Light bodied and nice sticky cherry flavors. Not sure if this will be long lived, acidity poking out more than bottles drunk earlier in its lifespan.

Ruby and garnet hued. Bright and acidic. It's a little funky, though not in a bad way. A $30 bottle of wine from Burgundy doesn't get any better than this. This one is alive and well.

It has really improved and opened since I tasted it 2 years ago. Well integrated and smooth.
