Showing age. Yet still very much alive. It has the hurt like mix of youth and a bit of funk that may be premox. Stewed apple and quince dominate nose with some nutty tones. Juicy acidity brings out intense fruit on palate along with good mineral finish. Improves and gives more with air. There’s a lot going on here.

London Wine Fair - day three (London): Very vibrant and zingy red fruit - sharp fruit with bitter tannins - light on the palate - decent if a little standard.

Bright red, almost looks like a pinot noir. Nose is quite open considering how young the wine is. Medium body and finish with nice balance. Drinking very well but should continue to develop for the next few years.

Back to the cellar they go. Terrible wine, dumped half the bottle. Bitter, vinegar, sour. At least 1-2 more years.

Conc: I wanted a wine tonight that was gonna be delicious and was hesitant to open this and yet it was delicious in all ways

No formal notes
Med to med- body, med+ acid. Good red fruit, some cedar, but not green. Good quality cab franc. Fruit was there but not over the top, had with a barbera d'asti and much preferred this [my preference] where other wine guest like the barbera more

Wow! Upon first opening, this was so tight and intense. But it blossomed into a bell pepper bouquet which isn’t a taste I normally like, but this is fantastic! Very well balanced with lots of complexity. Cedar, strawberry, green pepper.
