My last bottle was over a year ago and I thought it was fading. Apparently not, perhaps just a dumb phase because this bottle was lovely. Bright, translucent cherry red color. Beautiful aromas of strawberries. Light, lovely and delicate on the palate, strawberries abound. Fine, light tannins. Crisp acidity and lovely balance. Finishes long and subtle with cherry and strawberry notes. Should drink well for 4 to 5 years.

Lovely. In fine shape. Aromatics of Asian spice. Nice balance of developed fruit and sufficient acid. Bigger for a Kelley Fox made wine, no doubt vintage-driven. Earthy tone. Darker fruit. Hint of spice on palate. Med-long finish. Drinking beautifully.

Popped this on Saturday this week, and it has been stunning since opening. Tonight, after 4 nights open, it is starting to show some signs of oxidation. Nevertheless, lovely soft pomegranate, rainier cherry, subtle hints of spice and perfume. On the palate: lovely acidity and good density for the weight (lighter styled). Tannin attenuated tonight, but showed some nice velvety soft tannin to start.

Faint strawberry/rhubarb nose. Delicate strawberry fruit, a bit faded. Nice acidity and balance. Finishes a bit short with sharp red fruit. Nice enough but on the downhill slope. Drink up.
