  My second-to-last bottle. Better than the last in terms of aromatic profile, but less enjoyable flavors. Popped and poured. Translucent brick color. Intoxicating fragrances of rhubarb and kirsch liqueur. A wine with structure, yet a very light body. Rather harsh on the mid-palate. Long, bittersweet mineral and cherry kirsch finish. Faded badly on night two and was undrinkable night three.

  Delicious berry, mineral, and floral notes on the nose and structured palate with tasty acidity on the moderate finish. Continues to drink well.

  Last bottle. Obviously not a great vintage, but very good showing and right in it's prime window.

  2008 was a very poor vintage, and I did not like this wine during its first few years. Now at age 9, and after many bottles, the wine has reached a very nice point. With a relatively closed nose that showed black cherry with air, the wine offers relatively little in terms of fragrances, but has a lovely, mature and earthy flavor. Still with a firm acid underpinning, it closes with a nice residual sweetness. A distinctive wine with great character.
