  Darker translucent ruby. Copious floral scents of roses and violets on the nose, joined by raspberry, forest floor, and fine earth. Layers of buoyant, ripe, and gently tart red berry fruit cut with iron bits and rocky earth on the palate. Refreshing acidity and smoothed but structured tannin leading to a long finish of brier, raspberry, and grippy iron granules. Beautiful in its adolescence, this wine has a bright future.

  Drank last night and she's beautiful, dark in color but light on it's feet, good acid and medium tannin.

  Gorgeous. Drinking young, and beautifully, right now. Completely different than previous bottle 4 years ago, which was either slightly off or in a closed phase.

  I'm glad that I still have one bottle left. Wow.
  
  Popped and poured. Great nose of red fruits, and herbs. Taste of strawberry, cherry, blueberry, herb de provence. Good, rounded tannins and great acid levels. Long, smooth, finish of blackberry, cherry and leather.

  Too soon.
  Brilliance. Eventually
  Grafs and Joes notes prior to mine are spot on.
