So disappointed- My previous bottle was my wine of the year for 2016- This bottle seemed shut down and muted. I got very little joy from this bottle. HOLD

Fruit-forward (strawberry, currant) but with hint of must/earth tone; may be 1-2 years past its' prime, but still a delightful bottle. Drink now. Cheers.

PNP. Cork perfect. Color dark garnet. Nose mostly blackberry. Swishing has mostly acid structure which is intense, with some stem skin tannin on the end of the surprisingly long finish. Has some VA notes but mostly blackberry and vanilla on the palate, and sipping hides the acid under the dense fruit. I have been monitoring my 09s recently and while some of them are a little weird this one is solid.

2 years after my last bottle this is finally drinking well. Good fruit, medium density, nice acid. Very good.

Delightful. Soft fruit and not a hard edge in sight. Drained in no time.
