  Seems to be in a prime drinking window. Excellent bottle with well delineated red fruit and great balance. Medium bodied. Savory notes and a bit lean (in a Burgundian sort of way).

  just open and hour and this is showing lovely balance of tannins and fruit/ red/browning with clear rim. I'd say in a great spot now, long life too. On the more elegant side of B&B, with tannins firm and clean.

  Cherry, eucalyptus, anisette, cocoa, and resin with a noticeable freshness. Light-medium bodied with medium/med+ acidity. Medicinal finish with good length and a lingering sweetness that helps offset the ripe tannins. While young, there is nothing hard about it. Hold or drink to 2025+.

  Agree with Socrates. Still young but that is not a good reason to downgrade a wine. Needs 2-3 more years. Bouquet is very fine but wine still a bit tannic but should come around with time.

  6/19/2015 - Jdwinedrinker Does not like this wine:

  some browning. nose is ok but flavors not good. tannic with not much fruit showing. I admit to not knowing much about these wines, but this is not good. I hope time will improve it or bad bottle?
