Really lovely once it got going. Tight and not terribly expressive at first, after a couple of hours goes by this wine really hits its stride with lovely mineral and fruit. Already hinting at a great deal of complexity. A truly lovely wine, and a great value.

Showed very well. Nice acidity balancing out the round palate. Not terribly complex, though showing good spice/mildly oxidative notes. A brilliant yellow-gold in the glass. Last bottle, and doubt it could have any more room to improve – probably right at the end of its peak period, and while still pleasing, possibly already on the downside.

Delicious and precise red berry flavors. Undercurrent of mineral character. The nose, pretty and intense, jumps from the glass and is the kind it is difficult to tire of. More of a savory, almost smoky element has emerged on the palate since the last bottle. Something more brooding coming out. Drank wonderfully over three nights.
