The wine is very dark, suggesting a big wine. It's not petite but I found it surprisingly acid driven with blue fruits on the front. It doesn't read--at least to me at this time--as a fruit bomb as some have suggested. Maybe this is because of how it's evolved

10' it's been open 4 hours... the acidity is long & prominent. Stone, fresh raspberries. Many years of enjoyment. I'll pull a btl in 2/3 years.

2010 vintage, this is a big boy with dark fruit and some smoky finish.

2010 vintage. Dark blackberry, definitely muscular in body, profile. Nose is opening up and finish is long and coating. Def new world sensibility to this.

Better than a run in the rain. A fruit bomb.
