Light straw. Nose shows off bright lemon, creamy grapefruit. Very crisp finish - leading up to it there is some spicy orange, some more grapefruit, not as ripe or intense as the nose indicated. Good intensity on finish at first but dissipates rather quickly. Has lost something since my last bottle 2-3 years ago, so I'd say drink up.

PnP. Light to medium garnet. Red fruited nose with traces of minerality and spice. Very refreshing acidity here. Quite pure red fruit expression (raspberry and firm red plum) with nice concentration and purity. Nothing overly complex on this but very delicious.

Medium garnet color. It is a pretty nose right off the PnP, at first with twiggy and dark soil notes, but then cinnamon, red fruit, red anise and a minerally element that might be slight oxidation. Light to medium in body, fair bit of structure which is overshadowing the fruit notes, which are juicy and sticky, with little traces of nutmeg on the finish.
