February 9, 2019 - Rip roaring acids still bursting through. I like the old world funk on the nose here; earthy, animale, crushed blue fruit. Nicely matured. Fair body and a lovely, medium finish. Time is right to drink.

April 6, 2011 - Extremely young - cherry and bright berries with very little structure or finish until open for at least an hour at which point it really starts to come to life and shows its stuff. This can definitely use several more years of aging but will be a good one...
