Medium ruby, light fruit nose. Lightly tart fruit, clean acid, light well integrated tannins, smooth mouthfeel, some rhubarb, zesty. while I like this wine for it's austerity and reserved qualities, I had with dinner less austere a bit lusher So Italian which kept me tasting, when revisiting this again tonight, I kept comparing the restrainedness of this to the other night's. My tastes may have taken another turn. It's not the first time.

Tasted on day 2. Very expressive on the nose. Some good crunchy red berry fruit. Well balanced. I thought 2007 was a very cool year but there is still plenty of fruit. Medium finish. This is hanging on nicely and no need to rush to drink.

Such great balance. Blue fruit is there in just the perfect amount. Doesn't jump out but keeps coming in elegant waves of soft supple notes. Has just gotten better over time. A joy to drink
