This is still drinking beautifully. Amazing for a 11 yr old "fun" Ganevat. Needed an hour plus open for the fruit to really come out, but great fruit, good acid, great mature earthy notes, and nicely moderated tannnins. Just a great bottle!

This was a rather brilliant wine. Sweet delicate red fruits, strong earthy and light herbal hints, great acidity with light tannins for structure. Low alcohol and easy to drink. Went great with lighter fare. Really, really enjoyed this wine.
no idea what the guy below was drinking.

Slight seepage, but clean on opening. Strong piney nose with some earth and red fruits.. Really strong acidity.
After some time, this opened up. The pine became more subtle mint, earthy notes, nuttiness, light red fruit, light tannic structure and solid acidty. Just a really elegant wine.

Check the cellartracker boards. We usually post there.
Here was the thread to the last one.
