  I had to rewrite the note on this wine. Bottle was perfectly stored since purchase on release. Pnp it was showing fully mature with wild lingonberry jam and dry cured game on the nose. First hour open it seemed to be starting to crack at the edges though and show a little sour and past its best.
  
  The next day the fruit had integrated and smoothed out. The nose showed more of a core of blue fruit with a hint of wildness but the palate was anchored by the fruit as well. The wine was not only holding together but chugging right along and was very enjoyable as it warmed up in the glass. Very impressive for a wine of simple origins.

  Great wine. Full of bright fruit (strawberries and cherries) with a little earth. Nice complexity and finish. I did not decant this but had over several hours. It was nice with just a little air and kept for hours.

  My last bottle of a long ago Wineaccess purchase.....over the years I've given away a lot of these but kept one for some aging. It's showing some age as the color is bricking a bit in the glass, all the way through but mostly as expected at the edges. It's clean, with nice remaining acidity. The fruit is most assuredly red, light red. Cherry and strawberry with a certain minimally tart, slightly sour cherry ending which is nice but kinda short at the same time. This can go longer but the fruit will only weaken further for my tastes.

  This wine is starting to evolve but still needs some time as it is still rather acidic.

  Very nice fruit, cherry and bright berries. Ha a short finish with nice spice. The acidity was high so you need to pair it appropriately. I think I will hold my other one for a few years.
