[Blind] Nose has moderate brettanomyces on top of vibrant and lush red fruit (in a way that I quite like). Floral, fragrant, highly expressive, very showy. Modern stylistically but with some age on it. Flashy new oak. I really like this a lot. Smells amazing, stem inclusion. Reasonable staying power on palate. Wine of the lunch in my opinion.

Tons of earthy musty aromas of strawberry nougat, blackberry confiture, balsam wood, orange pekoe tea, with some feral notes on the back. On the palate the wine is pungent and gives an austere impression of hard red fruit married with loam elements. Med plus acidity dominates the low pitched red toned fruit. The still has verve but also seems a bit tired.

Good nose of red berries and some raspberries. Some wood spice and a seductive spice element. Palate a little thin and finish was clipped. Just cant get away from the 00 vintage here.

Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Ci Siamo - New York NY): Late night, small pour, brief note. Holding well, age and evolution is being kind to this wine.
