Nice food wine. A little more acid than most this vintage but nice red fruits. Please decant. Spicy curry or Thai food is best. There was a small glass the next day and I swear it smelled and tasted like raspberry fruit roll ups and cherry pixie sticks. TBL

Compact and super tight. Quite austere. Just ripened fruit. Great complexity and substantial structure. Long finish.
