Opened last night and finished tonight. Can't say I'm really too impressed. This seemed hard from start to finish, with little charm or flesh. Dark cherry was somewhat in evidence, but not enough to matter. This still looks young and seems to have some tannin; could it simply need more time? The drinking windows on CT don't suggest as much, but stranger things have happened I suppose. 4-11-13-6: 84/100.

Restrained and unsweet fruit. Minerals, berries, herbs and a hint of cinnamon/clove; noticeably acidic but not overly acidic. Does not overpower with fruit or sweetness -- a good thing. Medium to lighter in weight. Opens up in glass over an hour. Nice wine. A good wine with food.

excellent. Balance of fruit, minerals and herbs. Softened by the cellar time. And years to go.

Same notes as my last bottle. It has lots of spicy cherry fruit, good minerality and a medium finish. Very enjoyable.
