This wine was lighter than I would like but was well integrated and smooth. The nose was fantastic, floral, lots of violets, but the taste did not quite come through as well. Enjoyable but nothing special. While this wine was quite light it did not give the impression that it was about to over the cliff. On the other hand it is hard to see it improving further. Time to drink up.

At first I thought this was flawed. Musty nose, not a lot or fruit. Didn't taste bad, but it was just not there. Over the course of an hour or so it did start to come around, but by then all the wine was gone. I would definitely decant this wine before serving...

Tastes of cooked, bitter fruit. No finish.

Tart and dilute with some candied cherry flavors. No finish to speak of.
