Lovely balance of fruit and tannins at this time. May be a tiny bit past its peak, or perhaps just at its peak, but this wine is drinking quite nicely now.

Dark red with good clarity. Tight with mouth-drying tannins. Muted dark red fruits on the nose. A little bit of eucalyptus. Consider a decant or let it gather some more dust in the cellar.

Mineral, more "modern" with some oak tannins I would guess. Tight, still young. Feels like its got some Franc in it. Iron-y on the nose. Shows hints of green but to me that is just adding a nice note of complexity. Well done for $14.

Tried it at Petit Louis Bistro in Baltimore. Loved it!
