Initially some reduction, no surprise there. Blows off fairly quickly and beautiful, soft, mellow red fruit expresses. Palate has that same pretty red fruit, with a sweet spice/earth note. Delicious.

Keeps getting more perfumed. Orange fruit, earthy, slight salinity. On the palate quite energetic and sweet, classic vintage. Thin and short not unexpected for a village wine. 91-92

Absolutely right in the zone right now. So pure and fresh with notes of cherries, raspberries, minerals and purple flowers. It is fine and lacy with a sweet core and outstanding rocky detail. It finishes with good cut.

Opened last night. Strong burnt rubber and prune mix on nose, but relatively clean in mouth. Fruit is bright and clear - cherry and raspberry. Decided to hold for 2nd night at 55 degrees. Second night: Strange nose has blown off and now resides in back of the glass. Oak has provided structure but isn't overwhelming (I am very sensitive to oak), fruit is still bright and fresh and finish lasts 20-30 secs.
I am very pleased with where this bottle went with 24 hours. I have 4 bottles and plan to open the next in 1-2 years.
