A bit harsh and acidic with a strong - but not influenced - barnyard undertone. Representative of the region, but just not in a great way...had higher hopes for a mature wine from this region and from this vintage.

Better than expected. Nice oak integration, definitely old world

Plum. Classic French nose of banyard with a hint of gym socks. No mid palate to speak of nor fruit. Somewhat unbalanced with acidic flair on finish.

Smooth with oak but finish is short- maybe beyond the drinking window
