This is just drinking beautifully right now. Very solid fruit, raspberry, with savory notes of wood and forest. Nice acid gives it all a good lift. Not sure this will get better but it has hit a plateau that may last for a while.

This wine is settling into a nice place where the fruit has softened a bit from crunchiness to restrained generosity without going over the top and the tannin gives the wine enough dark notes to supply some bottom. Ready to drink but early in its prime.

Beautiful bottle that tastes less than half its age. Restrained and refined. Reminds me of Tollot-Beaut.

Lovely and elegant. By no means over the hill. Lovely subtle cherry, mushroom, and Soud boos. Wish I had more.

Much more advanced than the 2011 Costalina. The fruit was sagging a bit and tasted jammy.
