Has reached a very good spot where savory secondary characteristics blend nicely with the still lively dark fruit. Elegant and understated. Gives no sign of being from a hot vintage.

I wonder if this is still a bit young? Plenty of tannins when we first opened the bottle, but pleasant fruit behind that. Tannins mellowed pretty quickly, but the fruit seemed to give way as well. $25.

This wine had some nice subtle flavors of ripe cherry but the flavor just fell off...actually, felt it was pretty thin...

Nose of red fruit and meat, with a bit of spice. Tannins well integrated but fruit seems like it is beginning to fade. Wouldn't wait much longer
