Very tight out of the bottle and didn’t charm out of the decanter either. Unripe raspberries and dried apricots, and that’s about it. Abrasive tannins and fairly high acidity. Might be too young. But, while we’ve loved vintages of this wine for more than a decade, methinks this may be a vintage to pass on. Pass.

Nose of plum, graphite, wet stone and orange. Moderate tannins with fresh acidity. Palate is pretty muted on fruit notes but has some blackberry, dark chocolate and getting some of that orange again. Moderate oak and smoke finish
