Second time tasting this wine with different vintage. Earthy, herbal, a little funky, dark berry and cherry note, menthol with wet potting soil, unripe to ripe fruit notes. Distinctive on the nose but tasty!

Lovely balance. It's a 2014 we tried.

Too young to consume. There is a quality wine in this bottle, but for now, the tannins are too harsh. Perhaps if I had more time to decant it, it would have become palatable. But likely this bottle should not be opened until 2020.
