Rich, supple and smooth, this is an excellent food wine. Tons of fruit balanced with earthy notes. Hints of rose petals too.

Cinnamon cooked red fruit. From the funky year - have had better representations but not terrible.

Opaque and generously hued, nose of oak but less on the palate, the '11 is delicious and balanced. Great fruit, oak backbone and tannins that make it sing. Has a lot to give, could be integrated better but shows splendidly.

Thought it would age better. Lacked the vibrancy, fruit, and finesse expected.
