February 16, 2014 - Delicate complexity, racy acidity. Bright raspberry fruits & well integrated oak. Earthy notes. Nicely balanced, more in the French style

November 29, 2013 - Wine drinking beautifully now. PV is well integrated making for good balance. Needs to breath. Round fruit & pleasant acidity on the front leading to slightly earthy finish. Refined & complex
