Garnet purple and heavy in the glass. Nose of ripe black fruit, toasted oak, saddle hide, raspberry, cherry compote, pepper and reductive strawberry. Full body and deep with chewy black and cherry fruits on the palate. Ripe strawberry, pepper, burnt coffee and dark loam. Oak appears to be integrating nicely. Long finish. Interesting blend.

Clear with med-lite viscosity in the glass. Nose of citrus blossom, tangerine, melon, green apple and forest floor. Med-lite body with tangerine, grapefruit, melon, crushed white pepper and sunflower on the palate. Touch of lemon oil. Pleasing wiry minerals bring texture. Just enough acidity to support its core. Medium finish.

Brown gold and heavy in the glass. Nose of apple sauce, flint, marmalade and orange blossom. Medium body and on the flabby side with chewy marmalade, toffee, apple juice, flint, brown sugar, peach flavored tea and tangelo on the palate. Medium finish. Interesting treat that became unmemorable.
