It's a delicate, pretty and bright nose. Vibrant herbal tea, florals, some bright red/black fruit. Savory. Palate gives off more advanced features. Some tart fruit. Mineral. Very similar to my experience with the '13 a few years ago, which was a really intoxicating nose, and a less intriguing palate. All in all, a nice bottle of wine.

Was fantastic just after opening (89 point) but "died" fast. So open, share and drink fast The body is light. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium.

All about primary characteristics. Day 1 showed bright red fruit but with some bitter green flavors as well. The wine showed best on day 2. The fruit was darker and the texture was creamier. The vegetal characters were much less noticeable.

Subtle dry aromas of pepper, berry and bark. Salty dry fruit on the palate with great presence, focus, and grip as it moves to the tannic acid finish. Firm spine and structure. Excellent with braised pork chops and asparagus.

Simple,pleasant with bright red fruit flavors. Solid acidic spine which I like. Especially considering the price of more recent vintages I can get similar pleasure in Beaujolais for 1/3 the cost.
