  Nicely melded flavors of cherry & dusty red raspberry, touches of mocha, vanilla, and sandalwood. Medium finish with faint tannins.

  Thank you Schlaepdog, Absolutely right. Opened my last bottle tonight because of your review.
  To late I'm afraid.

  Very earthy wine. Nose is all earth and funk. As other tasters have noted, this bottle was not thin or watery, but in the medium body spectrum with decent weight. Flavors were predominantly earthy clay, but not exactly unpleasant, with cherry emerging mid-palate before more terroir dominates the finish. The earth components were balanced much better with food, duck confit with Bing cherry demi-glacé in particular, not as good on its own. Mature, drink soon before the rest of the fruit fades.

  No disagreement with recent notes in terms of taste, however it was a bit thin.
