  This is very good. Lighter body, pale bright red color with no sign of age. Sweet spices of clove and nutmeg. Sandalwood. Very aromatic. There is fruit here although light - raspberry, cranberry, plum and plum skin. I was expecting this to be further advanced but it certainly is not. Plenty of acid here as well. Happy to have another four bottles, which will drink well over the next two+ years or so.

  Pop and pour. Most amazing medium ruby color in the glass with no visible signs of aging. Cherries and a bit of baking spice on the nose and palate. The palate carries hints of cranberry and a bit of sous bois as well. In a really good spot with no apparent hurry here.

  Deep and rich earthy and floral flavors. Velvet texture, good acidity balances everything out. Drinking very well, not sure if this will improve.

  Ruby color throughout, medium depth with clarity. Freshness and purity in the aromatics. Notes of pomegranate & fig, hints of red apple skin, juniper, sandalwood, stony soil, dried tarragon, five spice. Zesty and refined on the palate, with fresh red fruit skin and flesh gaining intensity as it moves. Dense secondary depth, round and seamless yet slightly firm. Sturdy structure, fresh and vibrant in its acidity, very fine elegant tannins. Lengthy mouthwatering zest on the finish. A very pretty, understated wine at first that reveals multifaceted complexity as it goes. Great stuff. No hurry on this, glad I have another.
