Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has black raspberries and clay. Slight bacon fat. On the palate, this has sour black raspberries. That is interesting but really begs for food to counter the tartness. Complex if still tight, it unwinds in the glass. Medium tannins. This is young and will benefit from a few more years of ageing.
Very nice. A new producer for me. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has black raspberries, cigar box, slight bacon note and slight earthiness. On the palate, this has a nice acidity. Boysenberry fruit. Very clean. Good finish. Worked better with food.
Yes, this is young, but I have a few and wanted to try this. It was well worth opening, but it did need some air. Consumed over two days, it was better on day 2. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, roasted meat and herbs, slight bacon fat, and a slight floral (lavender?) note. Full bodied. Deep with firm tannins. On the palate, lots of boysenberry fruit with some earthiness and char. Long finish. This needs about five to seven more years to get closer to peak.It should be good for another twelve to fifteen after that
This is a vintage that does drink well at such a young age. Inky purple, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose has boysenberries, black cherries, roasted herbs, and black pepper. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, clay, black raspberries, slight floral quality and spices. This has some depth but it unwinds in the glass. Delicious. It will mature and may improve but it is drinking well now. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. This would work great, of course, with Cassoulet, but it will also work well Indian food.
