  This is a lovely wine and at least for my taste right in the perfect spot. There's definitely age here and the secondary notes are there but I still get some fruit and of course the more herbal style that I associate with Heitz. Drinking quite well. Some good heft at the beginning but it also settles into itself.

  Herb vegetal nose with hints of dark chocolate. Deep red color. Still decent fruit on palate but fades quickly. Drink now!

  A smooth yet edgy vintage from this highly variable vineyard. Supple and mild aromas of dark cherries, chocolate, spices and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is silky and remarkable structured at this point displaying dark berry, leather and earthy flavors. The finish is relatively long and fantastic with elements of the farm factoring in the flavor, likely a brutish old world wine. A nice surprise at this age, I would drink now.
