Drank 8/32/19

Nose very nice with plumbs, currants and earth. Palate with red and black cherry, earth, but perhaps lacking a bit of fruit and depth. Medium tannins and finish. Buy the '15 for a few bucks more.

4/20/7/3/3+50 = 87 pts.

Drank 8/10/18

Part of a lineup of 10 european wines my wife arranged for a birthday tasting with a number of friends.

Flavors come alive with a ribeye

Nose of black fruits and some earth and pepper notes. Dark flavors of blackberry and some tar and plums are a bit muted, but will likely improve with some time in the bottle. Finishes with dark fruits and dusty tannins.

3/20/8/4/4 +50=89 pts.
Will likely improve a couple of points with age to the 90-91 range. Not on the same level as the 2009.

Brownish in color, red fruit nose, red fruit really shows on the palette after letting it breath a little. Beware of fines
