NOSE: high-toned (perhaps some lift from the alcohol); mostly red-fruited (ripe red berries), veering just a bit towards the purple fruit spectrum.

BODY: garnet-ruby color of medium depth with slight bricking throughout; medium-light to medium bodied.

TASTE: a bit oakier than I'd prefer, but it's not ruined; medium acidity; not tannic; a touch alcoholic (14.5% labelled); ripe; big, but not comically huge; perhaps drying out now, so drink up; not funky. Drink Now. gut impression score: 90 – 91.
