PnP. Lovely red berry, raspberry, red cherry, some spice and earth under the fruit. I remembered this lacking acidity and being a little fat, but there's good acidity that keep the fruit in check. Still some tannins the finish. Good value.

Another corked one. I've opened three of the five I had, and two have been corked. When it's on it's a great wine, but with a ratio of bad bottles like I've had, it might be time to give up buying this producer.
PnP. Last tasted about 18 months ago. It's still fairly primary, but it has really intense fruit. Cherries, berries, some pie spice, and a bit of earth. Medium body, medium+ acidity, integrated tannins. Good structure to age. Great value at $25. Make me wish I'd bought more than three bottles to cellar. Bright, fresh, completely enjoyable now, but it should improve with more time.
