Strawberry, rose, graphite on the nose. Red fruit-- strawberry, cranberry, cherry jolly rancher. Barbecued meat. Slight minerality. Great balance of mod tanins and mod acidity. Maybe even drinking best on day three-- bright fruits faded from being so forward on day one and wine opened up to complexities on day three. — 7 years ago
