88 Points

Sunday, May 3, 2020 - Translucent red.

Funky mulchy nose (old oak?). Spice. Raspberry. Glossy, simple, raspberry cordial.

Crunchy tannins and acid bring the light to medium body through blonde spice and salt and pepper mix.

It’s very easy to drink, has reasonable length, but despite the vintage wrap the 15 for me felt a more serious wine from memory.

3.25/5. 88. Now to 2-3 years. This was had next to a Sottimano Cotta 11, so I guess anything feels a bit junior in comparison.

For $20 aud it’s good value for an import.
