Good length and balance but how do we get rid of that annoying birthday cake note?

Pretty nose. Balance and good mouthfeel. Makes me want another sip.

Light, brick in color with watery light brown edges. Cherry, barky wood, slightly floral on the nose. Short lived and light mouth feel with a savory-earthy finish. Getting over ripe plum, cedar, roasted mushroom. Mid acidity. Paired it with grilled meets and a fresh spring salad.

Not as good as 2009, but a quality vintage. Tart and lively

I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Herbaceous, acidic, has some cranberry, almost a ruby red grapefruit thing going on. Not super complex, but also not a new world fruit blast, which is a plus.

Smooth, light on the fruit and long finish. Great at this price.
