Great vintage, tasty Software is really not working on the site today- I would rate it 88, and there was NO flaw- however I am unable to input my rating and for some reason I can't get rid of the "flawed" comment.

Fruit forward medium bodied - still young. Purchased at vineyard, cellared immediately. Would be even more interesting in a few years.

Purchased from Vintner and immediately cellared- wine was still very drinkable. Cassis with notes of tobacco, smooth finish. Served with roast duck with a rich reduction sauce, opened up over the course of the meal.
