P&p; drinking well right away, but best with 90+ minutes of air in the bottle. Spicy, floral, black tea, and woodsy/earthy/forest floor aromas, along with cool, reddish fruit; nice definition, transparency, and tension. Similar flavors, bright and juicy with abundant acidity; taut and lithe; tasty/moreish. Nice general pungency and expressiveness hints at the bit of bottle age, without seeming at all over the hill; I would have to guess this is in its prime drinking window. Quite enjoyable, and a good value. Best at a cool cellar temperature. Worked well with roast beef sandwiches.

Red colour. Cherries and plums on the nose with hints of cocoa. Taste of blueberries and dark chocolate. Could be served to almost everything, a very versatile wine.

Defective - heavily oxidized/pruny. Maybe cooked/cork failure.
