Lively and quite fresh, perhaps surprisingly. Plenty of sweet cherry fruit. Nice acidity. Ripe supple tannin. Maybe still some distance ahead of it after all.

Deep color. Lifted cherry notes, fresh and intense with some dusty earthiness / chalk. Vibrant fruit attack, lively acidity through the mid palate. Not a huge amount of grip and slightly short finish. Drinking well now.

Earthy, violet, cherry notes. Some menthol. Leafy/stalky, almost cab franc in style. Ripe cherry flavours. Juicy. Still a good whack of tannin in what is a fairly robust structure. Sultana fruit on the finish. Long.

Well, this was disappointing. The label a said to serve with Mediterranean food, but this turned out to be Americanized, over ripe, over-oaked, and generally characterless party wine. Lots of dark fruit. Yah!

Really enjoyable wine, balanced fruit and acidity, lovely accompaniment to a Mediterranean fish stew.
