Fairly light in color but showing little evolution. This wine took several hours and should be decanted if consumed in the near future. The nose suggests significant stem inclusion in a lively, positive way. Good acidity, lighter texture as expected with intense spicy notes. Still quite a bit of tannins, but of good quality. A fairly long, clean finish. This wine will continue to improve

Starting to come into a nice drinking window. A very classic and austere style, so take your time with it.

Very nice floral spice and crisp red fruit. Maturing really nicely and developing well for a 2011. No notable green notes and wonderful energy.
