More austerity than I was expecting from the Vineyard holdings and the excellence of the vintage. Needed a better balance of Cassis and Blackberry fruit IMO. Still the best match for a steak in preference to a Shiraz. Another 5 to 10 years in front of it.

High notes yes, more air better. Not sure about headache yet. Could change rating. We are cavemen.

smooth taste, with a nice balance of sour notes and bitterness (in after sip)
