Served blind by Dale, and a real shock when unveiled. Lots of bright red fruits framed by more savoury developed earthy and leathery notes, and a whiff of VA on the nose that had me guessing Musar initially. Bright acids beneath and light tannins make it very easy to drink, this is a treat. Lovely.

Dead. Shame, as the other bottle Dale had opened last year was really nice.
