This is somewhat leathery and dark when first poured but with time opens to show more dark cherry fruit. I enjoyed this. Read more

A bit reticent on the nose, though this does show a candied edge to the emerging red raspberry and cherry fruit with a nice framing note of wood spice. Nicely bright and light up front with wonderfully fresh and pure vanilla-tinged cherry and grippy fruit. It’s a bit simple, though there are some emerging notes of mint, flowers and herbs as the wine sits in the glass. With time, the tannins, soft and fuzzy that they are, emerge, adding some detail in the mouth. Definitely a slight outlier of a style with bright acids and a lightened feel, though nice purity and intensity to the fruit. 87pts

This smells ripe and oaky with alcoholic heat on the nose. Soft in the mouth and sort of formless, this delivers modest cherry berry fruit in a loose style with a finish that is dominated by grainy, papery wood tannins. Out of balance and unattractive. 70pts
