At Rainer’s birthday dinner. No formal notes. Red and dark fruit and spices are joined by some herbal spice, gamey notes and underlying mineral notes, with supporting acidity and good length. The wine had a rustic texture upon opening, but benefited from aeration and smoothed out after some breathing. Plenty of life left, even some upside potential.

Pleasant, fair structure still but losing fruit. Some crispness. Enjoyable but drink fairly soon.
