In OCNJ, last bottle from this vintage in my cellar.
Consistent with prior notes:" Medium, vivid ruby color. Raspberry, floral and earth tones on the nose. Palate of cherry candy, black raspberry, baking spice. Light weight and smooth texture in the mouth, floral notes through the back palate. Core acidity hold it together nicely. Light, integrated tannins..."
Seemed a little more "flat" than last bottle (from memory) Fruit is fading a bit. Still nice but would drink up

In a really good spot right now, should drink well for some time. May integrate and improve more in coming few years.

Definitely RRV, well made, but lacks a certain " jncq."

Good; but there was a flavor that I could not place and was not fond of.
