Less dry (though not as sweet as cake), there is a lot of delicate fruit here. Better with white meats than with seafood or pasta. Can hold its own when paired with grilled beef.

Well a couple of years on since last note. Surprisingly holding well, similar and still starts off a little frizz ante for at least 30 mins. After decant - smooth and round with lots of dark chocolate berry fruit with a little mocha mixed in the finish. A little to much fruit still for me. Pricey again here in CAN. Enjoyed trailing this over time, along with the 2011 tonight which is fairly similar, but more refined. Will look for latest vintage and give it a go.

Overly ripe with not enough acidity or tannins to balance it out.

Still giving a very big flavor for a small price.

Dark purple, heavy ripe plum, a bit murky, deep and abundant.
