Great bottle. Nice balance of dark cherry and dusty earth with just some slight flavors of dried fruit emerging. It's still drinking nicely but not sure it has many years left in it based on this bottle and I'd aim to drink my last bottle this year.

First time with this vintage, drinking well enough though I don't see a lot of room for further development... acidity is a notch out of balance at the moment, tannins feel pretty well resolved. Fruit is there, but lacking some richness compared to what I consider to be better efforts in BdM. Nice wine, will plan on consuming the rest of these in the coming 24 months or so at the most.

Nice and mellow, very little edge. A rustic and developed wine, ripe cherries, black tea and a hint of sage, it is very enjoyable and goes along nicely with lighter meat dishes.

I forgot to stand this up ahead of time, and am convinced the bottles that have been stood up show better.

Fading fruit, mostly raisin and other dried fruits, lacking structure and nerve.
