  Burgers and Nebbs (My place, Portland OR): even after being open for the better part of the day, this just didn't want to come out and play. This is normally a screaming value play and I'm sure that is still the case here, just not today.

  Initial impressions: Tons of floral, chalky soil, and fresh herb aromas greet the nose with a hint of underlying pepperiness and some slightly exotic frutti del bosco tones. Small on entry, spherical, well balanced, fine tannins, good acidity, juicy with red cherry fruit front and center if not terribly intense on the palate. There's a slight candied quality at play here before this yields to a long, delicate and nuanced finish with old wood, soil, and dried floral notes. A touch short perhaps, but lovely with the elegance of the vintage, and a fine, layered feel. Lots of medicinal cherry fruit lingers in the finish.
