  This wine improved over a 30 minute decant by allowing the fruit to reveal. A clear medium garnet color. The nose was dominated by earth and dark red fruit. On the medium bodied palate however, the earthy component outran the fruit which might lead me to conclude that the wine is in decline and any remaining bottles should be consumed soon.

  a bit tart. Better with more time. Only opened partially after more than an hour decant. I can see this getting to 93 in a few years

  Wild. Very well managed oak. Almost invisible. Strong whole cluster. Good acidity. Subtle tannins. This is never going to be an easy tame wine, but I agree with others that it will be pretty nice in a few years.

  Medium burgundy red. Expressive and spicy red fruit aromas. On the palate, raspberry with attractive mint and spice overtones. Nice tension, good depth, length and mouthfeel. I like what Bradley does with this vineyard.
