A bit young, but really opened up over time. Medium ruby color, with young vibrant cherry aromas and floral accents. The palate was built on a somewhat modern frame with a streak of sappiness and rich, fresh cherries, red berries and black raspberry. Medium soft tannins on the longish finish.

Much less structured that previous bottle last month. Still very tasty - but seemed more like a bottle to drink soon. Not complaining because it went great with the pasta and red sauce.

Just right for my palate, good bitter dark cherries, hints of mineral and vegetal qualities, well-balanced.
