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

A tinge of must on the nose. Fantastically bright cherry fruit. Incredibly fresh. Juicy. Fantastic finish. A hint of green pepper. I Amazing texture. Still a little tannic will be better in a year.
