It’s a nice wine. Aromatically it is like syrah but more floral. Violets, pepper, saddle, blackberry, oak. Texturally it is much more delicate, closer to Beaujolais. It tastes tired at this age, lacking brightness. It is not an ageworthy wine.

Nicely balanced wine. Citrus, cooked pear, crushed rocks, and tarragon.
