Dark red color, nearly black. ON nose, strawberry, tart cherry, stemmy and iron. On palate, cherry, strawberry (very fresh) with medium acidity, fine tannins and long persistent finish. Very enjoyable and need to buy some more current vintages as this is aging beautifully.

Darker profile than expected, rustic and earthy, still felt very young/tannic with miles to go for such a 'little' wine... price-wise wise at least. I suspect this will not actually peak for a decade+ but who knows....

Prior bottle was one year ago and this wine continues to show quite well. Black cherry, earth and spice notes on the nose. Medium bodied with red berries and red cherry upfront, moving to blackberry through the middle. Lots of small background hints and nuances through the middle contribute positively to complexity. Earth, spices and balanced tannins behind provide structure and contrast. The wine continues to integrate quite well with good expression through the mid-body and nice overall balance. Should be able to hold this level for another couple of years, so no immediate rush.
