Light red, watery rim. Some VA, cedar and balsam on the nose. Thin and dry but then developed a bit more flesh and cherry fruit. Tart, short finish. Hardly extraordinary but this did a good job of hanging on for the 2 hours we had it open. Consistent with a bottle from last year, which is to say pleasant but on its last leg.

Annual Christmas Eve Fest (Home, San Francisco): Crumbly cork. Sharp nose with some VA. Definite pine and green components. Ever so slightly overbalanced to the acid side. Ethereal but it fleshed out and sweetened impressively, for a while anyway. And then...it...just... faded...away pretty rapidly.
