Needed time to breathe but was surprised how balanced it was. It still had lovely fruit tones and a soft finish. Sharp enough to stand up to a cheese plate no problem

Gorgeous garnet colour. Nose still vibrant but fruit has softened and stewed somewhat in aroma Sharp current flavours and rich red cherries. Spice is still nicely pronounced Finish isn't overly long but still very full bodies. Full mouth feel

Tad herbaceous on the nose with current and black fruit hinted at. Ruby Red colour was turning to Garnet on the edges. Dry with strong tannins still present for full mouth feel, but not harsh or edgy. Blackberry and current are stong, the finish is a bit soft and not lasting but very pleasant overall
