  Austere fruit, likely whole cluster. Pretty with gripping tannin and acid. Good food beverage Still good for 5 plus years

  Small amount of sediment. Medium ruby, slight bricking; aromatic, red fruited, some sous bois, roses, strawberries; medium length finish. Very nice, balanced burgundy, and I love the intensity of the aromatics and depth of flavor. 91+, easily will age another decade and improve.

  Lovely effort for the vintage and a really good bargain at current prices; the nose is delicious and shows bright red berry fruits, floral notes, a hint of mineral and sanguine underlying. The palate is a bit tight still, but perfect with food. Definitely not the deepest or most concentrated, but very good overall and drinks well now with food.

  Purple flowers, and spices both savory and baking. Has a note of wood/tree bark, but isn't "oaky" -- interesting wine that I'd like to come back to.

  (From magum) Pretty wine, still very primary and on very light red fruits, not showing much at this point. Think this is shutting down and will need a while to come out. Delicate stem tannins that make me think whole-cluster fermentation. I wouldn't touch this again for at least 5 years, maybe 10.
