  Super light color. Nice nose with strawberries, a little oxidize/maderized notes (but not overly so), forest, and cherries. High acidity with more forest notes, mushrooms, berries, and cherries on the palate. Good finish. There's still a lot of fresh fruit, although the oxidative notes on the nose indicated that this may not have been a perfect bottle. Still a great experience!

  Stood up the bottle for a couple of months as I had kept intending to open it, just never got around to it. Decanted for sediment and poured back into the bottle before dinner.
  
  The wine poured a beautiful clear ruby red. The nose was an intoxicating aroma of freshly picked earthy wild strawberries - covered in soil but at the peak of their ripeness. The wine needed about a hour of air to really open up on the palate, a balanced and elegant pure strawberry fruit glides effortlessly on the wine with cool aged acidity elongating the savory sous bois notes that developed with air. The wine has aged wonderfully.
  
  Beautiful wine and we crushed it in no time flat.

  Well kept bottle with excelelnt fill. Initially nose was just a wave of fresh strawberry on the nose, but rather thin/light weight on the palate. While that juiciness held on with air, it also gains a savory, earthy taste on the palate. Surprisingly alive and tasty!
