Definitely a wine that needs food. Bright acidity and red fruit with some crushed stone. A little green vegetal quality presented it self after the wind has been open longer. Ironic since sometimes that green vegetal Note will blow off from a bottle. In this case it actually developed. Or perhaps it’s that with air time the fruit subsided, leaving the greenness laid bare. I don’t think time is going to be particularly kind to this bottle.

Remains in the very youthful camp. Majestic fruit and depth evident however still trapped in a web of tannin. Would try another in 2+ years.

Ruby red color. Warm fermented berry aromas. Bright cherry flavors with some earth and nice minerality on a lengthy finish. Will go a while.
