May 8, 2024 - Delicious raspberry, earth and rose petal notes on the nose and savory palate with resolving tannins on the long finish. Drinking beautifully!

November 18, 2023 - good lift / acidity with dark red fruit and a little dirt on the finish... interesting and would be curious how it would perform in 5-7 years

September 5, 2023 - -- decanted one hour before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hrs. --
NOSE: red-fruited; light/elegant; medium to medium+ expressiveness; not funky; a touch earthy/savory, but this is mostly about elegant red fruit, on the Nose. Hint of lavender.
BODY: pretty, rose red color --- and it's a bit lighter at the edges; color is of medium-shallow to medium depth. Medium-light bodied.
TASTE: not tannic; medium to medium+ acidity; red fruits; definitely on the lighter end of the spectrum; very faint hint of TCA, or something similar; alc. not noticeable; TCA note got a touch more pronounced with air; medium-light to medium concentration of fruit, as this bottle presents. Going with Flawed on this one.2 people found this helpful Comment
