Initially there was a little funk on the nose but that blew off after a bit and the wine opened nicely. Mostly blue and black fruits with a nice dry finish. Fun wine.

Has aged into a better wine, possibly it's best. The tannins are gone and it's got a dry finish but the fruit balances it out. I didn't think it would improve since last year but I was wrong. Nice, bold, dry but good cherry fruit and a pleasant finish.

The wine has some mildley interensting blue and red berry fruits and a bit of acidity that throughs off the balance. It has aged nicely since my 1st bottle over a year ago that was a bit hard and tannic. The tannins have cleared to reveal the simple, tartish fruit with a meaty, warm tomato and earth complexity. Finish is still a bit sharp and I believe it will not improve but only fade and fear that an acidic impression would be all that's left. A tad of a dissapointment for this charbonon. Airation changed it in an interesting way. Drink now.

Fruity and a bit rambunctious. Fun wine but didn't make me wild with pleasure. A sweaty monkey of a wine.

Last bottle Hate to see it go. Nice, interesting wine. Mostly blueberry with some good tannic structure.
