- Deep ruby purple color. Clean nose with anise, mint a bit of earth. Under it all I catch a faint wiff of bacon fat and deep berry aromas, seems a bit wound up. Medium weight in the mouth at first with a racy acidity and a tannic presence on the finish. Rich flavors of earth, anise, blackberries though it seems a bit too tight and might benefit from some more time open...Even within a half hour, begins to show more fruit on the palate with a light pepper light quality on the tail end. Fun wine and I'm sure it would be nice with some lamb or wild game. (50)+5+12+16+7=90pts [90]

- Drink now, fading quick. The wine is light and pleasant in the mouth with a nice mouthfeel. Flavors of mixed spices, and earth along with a cranberry/ cherry backbone. Not a bad wine but I'm glad don't have any others. 3/5 [NR]
