Toasty marshmallow, red fruit, light cherry, a little mint, rare beef and kale. Has a soft entry and then big acids kick in. Not tremendous fruit left, though this is bright and focused, a touch roasty on the nose, a bit short and nicely balanced. Nothing out of place but not distinctive. A bit of cocoa and angular tannins round out the modest finish. 84pts

The nose showed raw dough, vitamins, iron, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it was sweet and broad at first, yet it then turned to sour black fruits with lots of acidity. Sour turned juicy on the finish and left the palate refreshed.
