slow ox'd for three hours, then decanted outright for another three. Cranberry is the strongest fruit component on the nose followed by earth and a saline component. On the palate the cranberry hits again along with some light red fruits, dry earth, and good acidity. A very pleasant wine that paired well with braised lamb shank, mushroom risotto, and steamed green beans.

First opened, a bit off and like it was exposed to heat, but after three hours open showed much more fruit and class. Tannins take over after a while and I don't think it will improve much, bu breathing is helpful.

Another very good bottle of this wine, but it's clearly on the downslope. Drink this up if you have it.

Fully mature. Balanced, with a beautiful, complex nose. A bit austere, but perfect for food. Great now, but should last another 5 to 10 years.
