Are you kidding me? This is fantastic stuff. Fragrant, and still very primary nose of roses, red cherries, and plums. Perhaps this does come off a bit high-toned though. The palate hasn't lost its freshness either, with the same lively fruit (albeit with some stewed character). Soft tannins. Nonetheless, served chilled, this is refreshing and downright delicious. No deterioration at all on the second day, with perhaps even some improvement -- the high-toned acidity is gone, and there's a slight bit of earthiness that now emerges.

Bubbles and Harold's (Chicago, IL): Volatile nose with very confected aromas. Weird.
