Raising on the nose. Fairly light body. First sip heavy raisin and jammy. Let it open up in bottle for about an hour before truly consuming. It was paired with a charcuterie board that I believe overpowered the flavor. Felt structurally light, perhaps victim to bad circumstances during import to where I am. Overall drank like an OK table red. Might try again purchased from elsewhere.

Raisin and blackberry, maybe currant as well. A little tight. Purchased to cook Coq Au Vin (wonderful for this). Drinking was okay at this time, lovely, but tight. Did not open up much over the night. Believe it will be ready in 1-2 more years. Delicious none the less. Wonderful color. May want to open for at least an hour before consuming if drinking now.
