This bottle showed much better than the one I had a few months ago. This one was riper and fuller, with some metal and leather and decent length. Might have a bit more life ahead of it.

Good color. Restrained bouquet. Still plenty of fruit, not quite fully ripe, some minerality, but a bit thin and dry. Showed some flashes of grand cru intensity, but overall nothing special. Not sure this is going anywhere, but it might be worth waiting to see if at least develops some late maturity complexity.

Nice strawberry and mint aromas. The flavor profile is kind of one-dimensional, but is still really good and full. The finish is what really sets this wine apart from lesser wines. It is really full, biting, gripping, yet feminine. Yeah yeah, this may not be the best vintage, but the maker is awesome and so is the wine. I drank this up against a 2001 martinelli zio tony ranch, and it was better. Just saying...

Ripe. Decanted 30 minutes. Reflecting the uninspiring vintage. Nevertheless grand cru standard. Nice strawberry-nose. but somewhat lean and one-dimentional on the palate, cherries and bacon in the background, enough length. I think it is the vintage , not the normal level of the wine.

Strawberry, mineral, a little savoury. Fairly resolved. Easy.
