Full list of wines sorted by score and additional observations included in the tasting story.

Tasting notes
There is an intriguing sweetness to the red berry fruit. Only light aging notes of leather, cedar wood and tobacco. This has its allure, but does come across a bit tired. Palate with nice fruit, but mostly acidic with otherwise little structure left.
