The profile is basically the same as five years ago - restrained darkish fruit/flowers, black tea/dried leaves, stony earth - just lacking some of its original freshness and vitality at this point, although it does have decent acidity. Still characterful and enjoyable, but was better young.

Smells like black tea, flowers, spicy rooty slightly funky earth, and restrained elderberrylike fruit. On the palate, elderberry, flowers, dried leaves, and strongly mineral earth. Good combination of freshness and funky, earthy depth. Completely dry. Excellent acidity. Good mineral bitterness, especially in the finish. Has a general sense of authenticity and "natural" character. Good stuff.

Earthy nose, tart fruit. Lighter bodied with soft, shorter finish. Straightforward and enjoyable.
