This needed 2-3 hours of air to open it’s pretty, subtle, dark red and blue fruit. There’s some Asian spice undertones and sous bois notes. Reasonable depth for its level. All in all, quite nice.

Ruby red color. Quiet and gentle bouquet of apples and oranges. A bit of bonfire smoke. Sour cherries. Mouthfeel is a bit thin initially, but still very balanced and nicely structured. Needs a bit time to open up. After an hour there is more intensity here. But not feeling any terroir here. It's good and has quite decent amounts of fruit, but it lacks something. But it's a good wine, though. Got one more bottle, but I will wait 2 years and see what happens. Don't think this is for the long haul.

In a good place right now. Will stay good for 5-7 years.

Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Moderate red fruit and subtle spice, this relies mostly on its good textures and balance.
