Still holding up. Elegant and restrained with quite a bit of red fruit left at the core. Notes of raspberry, forest floor and black tea. Dry, high acid, soft tannins, long finish. Pretty wine. It has aged nicely.

Brick red with very slight browning on the edges. Mixed dried fruits and earthiness on the nose. The palate showed fading acid and dried fruits with some bramble and earthiness. The wine is already on the downslope and needs to be drunk as soon as possible. Lasted for slightly more than an hour before careening of the edge of drinkability.

Did not show as well as last time. Interesting nose. Very herbal...like new mown hay. Nice red fruits on palate with soft tannins. I would drink up.

Nose fading after opening for an hour. Complex on palate. Nice. Very integrated
