Nice to try this again and from the stellar 2010 vintage. Medium ruby, approaching garnet in the glass. Gorgeous nose of dried flower petals and dusty dried red fruits and plum plus that faint tar quality. The palate shows the same red fruits and some fine grained tannic grip, was hoping for more complexity. Went great with Manchego and cured salami. This seems to be at peak now for getting at in the next few years.

Distinctively earthy with the tannins and acid present and sharp.

Super tannic. Needed decanting. Nice balance of age and fruit. Great acidity.

surprisingly light with not much interesting until the finish, flavor of tart fruit and dryness. Was ok for the price, paired with pizza.
