Friday, January 18, 2013 - I loved this wine. Deep and foresty, earth and pine, raspberryish fruit. Amazingly delicate and autumnal. Along with others here, this drinks more like a Burgundy than Bordeaux, and amazingly, in a totally different vernacular than the Rhone. Amazingly delicate. A lot of sediment, decanted gently, and poured. Maybe this wine would've developed more in the glass if given a bit more time, but I was concerned that it might fall apart at this age and given how delicate it appeared. Totally harmonious and well integrated, if a bit muted and fading.
