PnP. Nose of raspberry, red cherry and damp earth. Medium-bodied palate with dried and baked red fruit and earthy minerality. Medium acidity. Not very complex, but balanced and pleasant. Paired well with several foods. Showed best after 10 minutes in opened bottle. Mature. Drink over the next 5 years.

Another good bottle. It does not seem to be in decline by any means. Sous bois with good fruit and minerality on the palate. Medium weight. Silky with a nice finish

Garnet color. Starting to get some amber on the rim. Initially, nice raspberry, sous bois, forest floor on the nose with good fruit and minerality on the palate. Medium weight, but with an hour of air, it gained significant weight and complexity and just blossomed! Silky with a long peakcock's tail finish. This bottle is so much better than one opened over a year ago and I think will continue to get better.

Some browning. Initially upon opening, sous bois, earth, tar and a bit reductive. The wine was a bit out of balance with bright acidity, but enough fruit in the background, that I thought it might have a chance. After the wine was in the glass 2 hours, it fleshed out and the fruit appeared and became much more balanced. FInish was nice.
