A fresh nose of mint, rose petals, menthol and briary fruits. There's a suggestion of tar, Indian spices and leather too. The palate is savoury and engaging. Fruit flavours have a tart edge. It has plenty of earth. It is balanced and lively and flavours persist.

91-92. Birth year wine. Stood up for a few months and then decanted in AM, served in evening. Wine benefited from significant air. Wine felt a little oxidized with pronounced browning and some port like flavor. But overall was still splendid with resolved tannin, bright/tangy cherry fruit. Went well with the mushroom ragu pasta.
