One glass from coravin....needs an hour of air. Ruby color, translucent. Nose of slight licorice...cranberries...light strawberries, cranberries, minerals, long finish. Nice integration and pairs well with salad, goat cheese

Pop and pour. This is quite mature. I can't help but think that it was probably better a few years ago. There is a nice wet rock minerality here. I wish there was at least a little fruit besides prune.

Opened for an hour prior, not decanted. Nose is funky initially... musky, bit of wet earth, some cherry peaking out. Palate is surprisingly fruity up front, raspberry, cranberry. Finishes with a serious tartness that is mouth-coating, chewy, and makes my mouth water a bit. Some tannins on the back end. I like this, needs food, and some time. Seems to be some upside here IMO, but I'm still a BURG virgin.

Fabulous fruit forward again. Totally lush and the nose is intoxicating. On the palate is raspberry galore. Red fruit and some lightly hinted spice. 13% alc.
