Ripe and mature black and red cherry, overtly spiced, but good weight and still fresh enough, especially for its age. Good depth. Better than another bottle from earlier this year.

Still very bright and vibrant, with plenty of ripe black and red cherry throughout, accompanied by lots of spice, seemingly a bit too much whole cluster driven, but very fun and tasty.

Red and black cherry on nose and palate, all still nicely fresh. Just a trace too much whole cluster coming through that hasn't fully integrated. but good overall, especially for its price/ level and age.

Mature red berry and cherry start-to-finish with good weight for an "entry level" wine with a bit of pronounced whole cluster style spice notes. Medium+ weight. Very good for its price on release. Still drinking well, probably good for a few more years.

Still fresh enough with good richness, maybe a touch clunky with its spice profile, but fun. Slightly more tired than a few bottles from a year ago.
