Still very fresh and vibrant and drinks younger than its age. There's and almost candied, sweet, attack, that settles nicely into citrus, then earthier, more brambly, notes. The sweetness is not at all cloying and there's great acidic lift. That said, while very good, it lacks a bit of the complexity I would look for to reward further aging.

Very pretty, with pure pinot fruit. Still in a nice place, but I expect this will fade as it ages. Drink up.

This has put on weight and come together in a lovely way. The best Costalina I have tasted. 13.4%

Ugh. Corked! So disappointing. My last bottle and opened for a good hearty beef brisket.

My impression from this bottle: drink the rest soon. Really a nice wine, but don't see this improving.
