  • Mainly Oregon (Noizé): Light ruby to cherry. Fragrant and relatively delicate red fruited nose. Nice fruit, again raspberry with some persistence and a nicely fresh, minerally almost slightly herbal element on the finish that gives further complexity. Very attractive. ****

  • Paired with T-bone steak, the steak was the highlight. Decanted it for three hours, which helped but not as expressive as we would have hoped. Tannins have faded instead of smoothed out like we usually see with Les Dij creating a lean wine. Black cherry, subtle earthiness. Some seepage on the cork but not a corked bottle, still a little underwhelming.

  • Translucent ruby. Subtle but persistent nose of gently acrid cherry pits, high pitched soaring violets, damp cellar, cinnamon. Layers of elegant but effortlessly lively red berry fruit cut with earth and the barest of iron notes on the extremely balanced palate. Quietly nervous acidity and fine grained tannin. Long, harmonious finish of anchored red fruit, fine earth, and ringing ferric grip. So light on its feet, but so much focus and concentration. Beautiful.

  • Popped and pour. Cork wet almost to the edge. A little soft but still holding. Very tight on the nose, not revealing much...little spice and strawberry. On pallet subtle flavors of earth, spice... very light body, delicate. Again not revealing much. Not bad, just a little flat at this point. Finish has just a touch of fruit, acidic but not much more. Will give this a little time to open, but if it doesn’t I’d say I may have held this too long.

  • Decanted about 45 minutes at home, then sat open at the restaurant for a 90 minutes or so. This initially struck me as rather lean next to an '12 Antica Terra Ceras, but without that context is was terrific. Very old world style, which I love. It opened up more with time in glass, and once the food arrived it stepped up to the next level, the best pairing of the course, I thought (with the Ceras and a '12 Rivers Marie Old Vines Summa).
