Quite young, with a reticent nose showing very little. Very clipped, short finish. Needs lots of time (hopefully). 3rd of 4.

Simple, disappointing, fruit-forward. 4th of 4.
Bright red fruit, very elegant with a silky mouthfeel. Quite approachable now, though with several years of aging potential. My very close #2 of 4.
Darker fruit, graphite, bit of earth; very well balanced.With time in the glass, my #1 of the 4. Yummy.
Quite simple, but nice. Little oak, citrus, medium body.
Full bodied but not overly heavy or cloying with medium-plus acidity and ripe stone fruits. Quite young, but enjoyable.
