Popped and poured; no formal notes. Abundant, perfectly ripened red fruits, dusty earth, some red flowers and dried herbs. Lovely freshness. This is waaaaaay too easy to like and a stupid good value. A lovely pairing with duck confit.

Day 1: pucker up sweetheart, and expect a furry tongue.
Day 2: settled down a bit.
Day 3: much better still a lean thinner style over last year. SS

Really interesting juxtaposition of mustiness and acidity, in a good way. Paired well with marinated skirt steak

2013 was definitely a cooler vintage. Lean with good tannins.

Tad corked?, so difficult to assess. Tomato sauce. Peppermint. Black cherries. Earth, mineral. Hints of tar and roses.
