  Popped and poured. Needs about 30 minutes to open up. Attractive, subtle nose. The wine is medium bodied, elegant, excellent ancidity and focus. Red cherry, herbs, tea and a little spice. Still youthful with years ahead.

  Really nice. Bright, very bright, red cherry fruit, aromas of cherry, and a hint of dusty clay, plenty of acid, perky. I do get a sense of acid coming through, but it’s a 2008… This seems like it will make it a decent while longer, though not a long term ager. Drink them up..

  Translucent ruby. Fresh nose of fresh cut berry, violets, stony earth, acrid plum blossom. Layers of rustic iron-laden piquant red fruit with fennel and earth on the palate. Strong, almost weedy acidity and firm tannin. Long finish of dried but tensile red fruit, earthy iron, and ringing freshness. All over the place but ultimately enjoyable.

  先做瓶醒1小时，有着很新鲜的玫瑰花同干花的复调花香，树莓果酱、樱桃碎、黑莓和山楂泥和红枣糕之类的果味，带着些许肉感、甘草以及肉桂之类的香料，整体颇为有力，力道内蕴。口感中酸度高，丹宁整体已经铺展开来，不过还有些许颗粒感，果味色调红而通透，内里有力，慢慢释放，可以说有些精气神，舒张之间也有柔顺劲。随着2-3小时的醒酒，无论是香气和口感中，黑果、蓝莓、薰衣草之类的果味在前段都更为凸显，不过整体似乎被红果环绕，有种温暖的包裹感。92+/100
