This might be one of my favorite vintages of this wine. It is like it has matured as a vineyard, moving from adolescence into young adulthood. This presented dark fruit with just the right amount of ripeness. Some nice savory and earthy notes elevated the complexity and provided some depth. I don’t know why I didn’t have more than one of these and certainly wish I had a couple more to see this evolve over time. Very impressive.

Dark ruby. Savory. Black fruit. Deep and quite substantial, but all in balance. Lovely suggestions of wild mushrooms and sage. Refreshing acidity. This youngster is a very worthy successor to prior vintages of this bottling. Highly enjoyable over three nights.
