Layers of red and black fruits, mineral, touch of spices and pepper. Polished and complex with a round, polished palate. Long finish. Really excellent.

Firing on all cylinders. Really nice balance of fruit and acidity in this bottle, with a depth of secondary notes underlying the bouquet.

Not as giving at this stage as I had hoped it would be. Red fruit and some secondaries are there, but shy and it's unclear if they aren't going to emerge or just need more time. Crossed fingers for the latter.
Still a fine wine, but not the level hoped for in a CSJ (even considering the lower fullness of fruit in wines of the vintage).
