Medium/light bodied, fragrant, balanced, lifting but not ethereal. Restrained, with notes of strawberry, spice, cardamom, and a nice long silky finish.
But ultimately lacks presence - mature and ready to drink up.

Medium garnet in color. Strawberries, raspberries, mushrooms and soil on the nose. A bit more development than two years ago. As I recall this wine, it felt a bit alcoholic last time I had it. I may have been wrong; it did come around. It seems a lot more in balance now. The fruit not as ripe and it's got more earthy nuances. Velvety smooth, medium plus acidity, fresh medium finish. The WS I like is back. Cheers!

Similar notes as previous tasting. Blackberries, black raspberries, black cherries, and licorice, Medium bodied and a medium to long finish. Drinking well now, but probably won't get any better, so drink up and enjoy...
