Radically different notes and impressions than what is listed here. Solid translucent ruby with no orange edges. Candied red cherries on the nose, with a touch of earth and a whisper of iodine. Pleasantly fruity in the mouth, with reasonably good length and pleasing richness. This seemed very youthful and almost like a cru Beaujolais - perhaps Julienas. Lacking in complexity, but no where close to being over the hill.

it's time to drink this wine. as noted by others, needs at least an hour in a decanter. red berries and a hint of eucalyptus. more burgundy than RRV in its expression.

maybe just on the downside, but excellent wine, fruit and earthyness in great balance.

Nice, but a little past prime. Lost some of its fruit. That was last bottle.

A little tight, but opened up nicely.
