Used most of the bottle for beef bourguignon but had a couple glasses left. Very backward but seemed to be improving as it opened up. It had a nice crystalline body but it never really shook off a medicinal bitterness that kind of overwhelmed the palate for me. I don’t think it was flawed, maybe it just needs more time or a vigorous decant?

Dark crushed blackberry and wet mud on the nose. Light body with tart cherry and earthy tones on the palate with a hint of pepper. Finishes dry and tart with an aftertaste that lingers a bit!

A pale red wine. Very strong notes of strawberry, red currants, rhubarb, hints of cedar on the nose. Very pleasant.
Light, clean body, red fruits, strawberry, peppercorns. While indicative of the grape and style, possibly a little too light, too pale compared to other vintages I've had.
Medium light finish, some spice and hints of bitter chocolate, raspberries.

In the zone. Black cherry, a little smoke, minerals and spice. Satiny mouthfeel, medium-long finish.
