So good, and definitely on the upslope. On the nose, pure sweet red raspberry, a hint of rose, wild strawberry and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, fantastic acidity, and much darker with sweet blackberry, some green notes, maybe some blood orange...a suggestion of valtellina actually, but then some baking spice. Attenuated tannin on the clean finish. So yummy.
12/23: this has been open, unrefrigerated on our counter for several days now. Not even the slightest hint of oxidation and, frankly, even better now than upon opening. The idea of not touching this for 12-15 years is ridiculous, but if this bottle is representative, it apparently has that kind of longevity.

Joli bouquet de roses, de petits fruits rouges évoquant les framboises, de fumée et d'épices douces des plus invitants. Bouche légère mais bien ample avec beaucoup de fraicheur, c'est transparent, harmonieux, bien défini et persistant avec une finale qui se resserre agréablement. Possède presque l'esthétique d'un Chambolle. J'ai adoré. 89-90+? Le lendemain 90

Fine Vines Fall 2018 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Black cherry throughout with some faint roasted meat. Balanced and elegant with very good length. Good+ now. I like this even more today vs when last tasted one year ago.
