  From memory as I had this over a family meal. We bought the bottle directly from the vineyard in 2010 and it has been slumbering in a cool cellar since. This was signing and is in a great spot right now, but with he structure and fruit profile to continue to age well. Good color, nose of cherry and red berry fruit, quite ripe but with secondary notes of earth and sous bois. The palate was silky with wonderful red fruit and balanced acidity. Good mineral character as the vineyard suggests. The tannin structure was fully integrated and smooth and the entire wine was in great balance. A lovely experience and at near peak IMO.

  Very raw and full of oak - it really needs time. Bitter cherries too
