Slightly disappointing. Thought at first a bad bottle. Sour. But got better after about an hour. Almost no fruit. The earthiness took a while to come and I had to tell myself it was there. Don’t think it will get any better with time. Will have to drink up the rest of the bottles pretty quickly.

Can't tell if going over the hill or in a dead phase. Little to no fruit. More likely, particularly given the vintage, that these are going downhill. Drink up.

Light red color. Cherry and soda on the nose. Lots of earth, forest floor, red fruits, dry herbs and mineral. Muscular and traditional, still a bit tannic, needs some more time.

Light nose of cherry. Light color. Palette nice, subtle, elegant. Touch of minerality, earthy cherries. Tannins are there and light. This may need time, the fruit could be more.
