  Darker ruby and a little bricking. Very aromatic with rose petal and red fruit. Great acidic structure and polished tannin. Felt delicate and certainly wouldn’t decant.

  My last bottle was seven years ago. It (L 10310) was great then and even better today. This medium-weight wine is exceptionally aromatic (red and dark fruits, spices, flowers, minerals), has firm acidity, prominent tannins, a succulent core of sweetness on the mid-palate, and an outstanding, long, bittersweet, peach-pit finish. It can accompany a wide variety of meals; whatever you might serve with aged Pinot Noir, Sangiovese or Nebbiolo will go well with this, although the tannin levels are more like the last two than the former. Drink to 2028 ? Excellent QPR.

  Phenomenal wine. Very Aromatic, beautifully integrated tannins with that delicious chalkiness. Blackberry and dark cherry, maybe a little raspberry, with a succulent, long finish. Going to find more of this

  Morello cherry, tobacco, ashes, tree sap, fresh rosemary. Ripe and suave on entry with balanced acidity. Savory on the back end with mouthcoating tannins. The warmth of the site seems to yield a wine with much depth of fruit making it certainly drinkable, but I think it has more to offer in time as the tannins resolve. (90-92 points.) Can drink now, but better 2017 to 2022+.
