Round, soft, medium bodied and approachable, the licorice, espresso bean and black raspberry character is a treat. However, the oak in the finish takes a bit away from the fruit in the end note.

UGC 2016 (Chicago, IL): A somewhat foursquare and ordinary bottle, this had a very nice perfumed nose, but the palate was simply hollow and uninspiring. Reasonably high acids here.

Garnet in hue, the wine showcases espresso bean, licorice, black cherry and hints of jam in the aromatics. Medium bodied, forward and soft, this easy-drinking wine is infused with cocoa and dark red berries and will be drinkable on release. 88-89 Pts

Modest, friendly, sugar noticeable, short finish, but Saint-Emilion.

Big promising nose of blackcurrants but then fails to deliver in the mouth. Quite unexceptional.

Minerals on nose. Chewy, relatively soft with firm tannins. Nice finish
