Very cool wine, light in color and body, but full of fruit and minerality.

Black cherry and black berry aromas and flavors, light on the palate with mild acidity and black pepper tannins.

Good, dusty cedar, some very restrained fruit. Decent tannins but not a lot going on for a bottle of this price and age.

Lots of wood notes. Not much fruit from what I could see. Probably should have aged this.
