I love the strawberry, tobacco and white pepper that’s all over this vintage. It is well balanced and the fruit has stood up well to aging. It hasn’t been lost to the oak, which can sometimes happen over time. Instead, the tannins are well resolved here and help to actually highlight the delicious red fruit that’s right up front on the palate. The nose is all spice box and pipe smoke. I’m so glad I laid a few bottles down when these shipped a few years ago.

Reminded me of Beaujolais Neuveau, which isn't necessarily positive in my book.

Drink now! Resolved tannins, but still structured. Easy to drink without food. I wouldn't push it any more with aging. Tobacco. Raspberry. Eucalyptus.
