pristine bottle. on pop n pour - color is translucent red - prominent bricking at edges. Nose is of minerality, some earth, and barnyard - but not dirty. medium body but with good concentration and impeccable balance. Fruit (cranberry, strawberry rhubarb) is integrated and plays a very minor background role to the spicy tertiary flavors. Very elegant and very much in tact.

At the post Barrell Auction Party...big fan of Drouhin Laurene...have not had this vintage previously. From a magnum
Color still good, some bricking. Nose was delicate, light red fruits, herbs, floral notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium finish...
Old world style, fruit has faded. Nice but not much in secondary characteristics or nuance.

Nice juice. Color good. Nose fantastic. Still going strong for 14 years in which was impressive. A big wine. Not a ton of nuance. But enjoyable.
