This was more than enjoyable on day one and two. Expressive nose, with Rhubarb, pomegranate, and a heavy dose of cedar spice, with vanilla chasing it. The oak is not subtle on this wine. Coarse wood tannins. It’s quite enjoyable, a crowd pleaser even, but a little overwrought in terms of elevage at this point. In need of a few years, and fingers crossed that the oak recedes.

Solid but still very young and very structured. Lovely ripe red cherry fruit with an intense concentrated and structured palate. Lengthy finish that turns a little austere with the coarse tannins.theres a little oak influence but seems well integrated
