Purchased at the domain. Man, what a difference 7 years makes. This bottle was SINGING. A serious "wow" wine. PnP. No perceptible wood influence on the nose. Lots of dark red fruits; cranberry, bosenberry, and plum. On the palate this is silky with great acidity and body. Cigar box and red fruits. The finish is long a earthy. Just fantastic. Drink or hold.

Expressive and complex, showing notes of cranberry, raspberry and wild strawberries on a bedrock of saddle leather and tilled soil. Tertiary expression has developed wonderfully in recent years. The palate is fleshy, fresh and with totally resolved tannins. Years ahead of it but already in prime drinking territory.

Intense aromas of ripe red fruit along with spicy toasted notes, subtle notes of flowers and herbs, balsamic notes and some minerality. Very elegant. Perfectly integrated wood. good structure Ripe, polished and fine tannins and excellent acidity. Perfect to drink now with 3 hours of decanting.

Not “wow” but a pleasant wine. Still had nice fruit and secondary herbal and leather notes in a very smooth wine with very light tannins. Drink soon

Consistent with what others have said, my bottle was no good. No fruit left. Bought as a cellar release last fall, so did not expect this outcome.
