In great shape, with lush dark fruit and a touch of spice (cinnamon?). Dinged a point or two for some evident heat as well as a lack of varietal typicity, but still showed well.

The deep purple color of this wine belies the expectation of a full bodied wine. The short legs give a truer window on what is coming. The early flavors of bright red fruit including raspberries and pomegranate are accentuated with pronounced acidity. There is an angular mouthfeel to the light body which quickly adds a light persimmon pucker and minerals to a rather short finish.

PnP'd. Smooth & tasty. Hints of BBQ, smoke, spice, earth, rich fruit. Enjoy now-2019.

Surprisingly nice. Darker, richer, smoother than I expected. Enjoy now or over the next few years.

Very delicate and likely coming towards the end of its age range. Still, smooth and complex - like silk
