Medium to full bodied, this one definitely got better and better as the meal progressed. Fairly well balanced if a bit acidic, a nice balance of bright fruit and dark earth.

Nov 20th, 2017Strong nose of ink and funk... must let it decant, gets better with time. Slightly tart, orange notes, and saddle leather on the palate. Overall it lacks complexity, but a good bottle of wine.

Jul 2nd, 2016Definitely need to decant. Started off bone dry and quite tart. Ended up softening with a long finish. Paired really well with food.

Feb 16th, 2015Alert! Drink your 2004 now! I'm sure it will hold for awhile longer but I think it was mellow and lovely with a winter meal in 2015.
