Dark crimson. Barnyard, muted black and red fruits on the nose - great aromatics More barnyard, plenty o’ fruit on the somewhat thin palate - but something sour on the backend. Expected the funk and austerity, but was hoping for something silkier and ound.

Earthy, discreet, Old World bouquet. Cherries, underbrush, pastille, and dried flower aromas have a candied edge. Bright, lip smacking entry is energized by a hint of citrus and racy acidity and middle weight flavors are driven by crisp minerality and wet earth tones. Tightens up a notch on the broad finish. Lively, nervy, and harmonious.

Wasn't quite together. At first sour and little fruit. Later as it opened up, the wine was more coherent, but still not well balanced. Not surprising for the vintage

Have had many bottles of this vintage over several years. This wine is now coming in to its own. Tonight it was very enjoyable and best bottle yet
