Still quite young and needs some time before it will really begin to see its full potential. Wonderful fruit notes and well balanced.

Mad props for $32. Mint covered slate, molasses tingler, acid laced cherries. Solid.

Very smooth, lively. Surprised at some of the comments. Bought this in Chateauneuf in 2014.

It's got just about as much Brett as I will tolerate, which is not much. But, it's got gobs of fruit and spice. Don't see long term potential but it's quite enjoyable now.
