This wine was disappointing. The nose was not unappealing, with notes of yeast and apple, but on the palate the wine lacks verve and cut and sort of flattens out into something semi-sweet and shapeless until it disappears without much of a finish.

A terrific wine. Initially it was a little restrained both on the nose and in the mouth, but after 45 minutes or so in the decanter all was revealed. Aromas of red fruit, grilled bread, a little coffee are followed by an elegant wine of middle weight with very fine-grained tannins. It has delicious notes of plum and cranberry, but this wine is not about the fruit, and that makes it work especially well with food.

Well this is delicious. A really fresh wine with a core of cranberry fruit, minerality, and more than enough acid to keep things lively.
