Amazing. Light to medium bodied, but with a great depth of flavour. Bottle bouquet definitely made its way into this wine already, but it's nicely harmonized with the fruit. Wish I had another few of these to sample over the next few years.

Aromatically lovely in a way that made me think of walking in the woods picking berries. Relatively light-bodied and lighter in taste as well, but some nice fruit and earth, especially as it was open longer. Short finish with only a hint of tannins on the back end. Enjoyable alone, but better with pesto.

Interesting wine, although nose is not very attractive with rubber and sulfur aromas. On the palate, it's dark fruit, quite grippy tannin yet the fruit gets juicy on the finish.

Deep, structured wine, but doesn't have that excitement factor. Burnt coffee (sulfide) aroma along with dark fruits on the nose. A little funky. The palate is rich, extracted and full bodied. Creamy and dark fruited. No roasted or stewed fruit. Med-low acidity, tannin is partly resolved. Feels a bit anonymous. But this still tastes fairly young and seems as if it could evolve for quite some time.

A very nicely aged wine, herbal earthy notes, fruit is a bit muted as expected. Worked very well with grilled porterhouse.
