  Advanced, not in a great way. Candied fruit and alcohol. Drinkable but and definitely good for a saucepot, but not great at this point in its life.

  November 27, 2014 - Popped and poured. Bright red. On the nose there's lots of peppery spice and a mix of blue and red fruits. Very pretty, and with air some notes of rose and violet mix in. Great acidity and liveliness on the palate, beautifully balanced too. I think this is in a good place and may stay here for a few more years.

• ucbeau Does not like this wine:

  November 19, 2013 - Tonight just isn't a good night for this wine. It's showing a rather shrill side, with lots of high-toned red fruit and raging acidity. Smells and tastes out of balance and harsh. There's also a bitterness on the palate that I can't get past. I have definitely had better bottles, and this might just need to sit down for another few years.
