Gorgeous nose. Leather, red currents, wet moss, tobacco, mint, really terrific vivid aromas. Palate is soft yet juicy with whipsmart acidity. Wonderful freshness and length. So juicy. Very complex and drinking so well. Reminds me of Chateau Le Puy from the Cotes de Francs. @Delectable Wine this is from Wurrtemberg and not California. Thanks!

Has opened up slowly over the last 2 hours. Showing candied black currants and loads of crushed stone dust in the nose. Also molasses brown bread. Intense, but lean and super-crisp in the mouth. Shows bone dry, crisp black cherry fruit and some weediness in the mouth. Just a wee bit of tannin. Finish is very long. I bet this is better tomorrow night. Will re-visit then. For now, 9.0.

cool weather cab, light in the mouth but with some nice flavors. Wouldn’t pick it for a cab- so different; light tannins
