brought to O Bistro Francais in Red Bank. shared with Marty, Sandy and Pat. the wine, even after decant, needed 45 minutes to fully open up. beautiful nose. generous ripe and bright red fruit on the palate. body builds throughout the evening. medium finish. despite youthful qualities, i would prefer to enjoy next bottle in the near term to enjoy its exciting dynamics. at the point of purchase, i did not realize that this was entry level wine for this producer in this appellation. will look for single vineyard bottlings with cru designations going forward.

Very good, but nothing special. Would probably benefit from another year or two of cellaring to better integrate the tannins.
