just a tad bit leaner than previous bottles, this wine was a gem again at roughly $100 for the bottles... nice red fruit, really nice spices, this had just a touch more acid (relative to body / fruit) than prior bottles so the balance was slightly less ideal... but all in all a treat again... really enjoyed the considerable spice / secondary palate expression alongside good red fruit

another great bottle of this wine, red fruited with mineral overtone and really nice acidity making this bright in the mouth but with velvet textured mouthfeel... luxurious without being full bodied or heavy... super!

Spicy cherries, little secondary development. It arrived late in the meal, and without formal notes, my memory is tainted. I remember liking it, thought it was good, not great.
