This is starting to drink rather well. Very dark garnet hue. Beautiful and complex mix of leather, cedar and wooded fruits to the nose. The tannins are still a wee bit harsh, however, pronounced mushrooms, earth and berries with undertones of tropical fruit on the tongue. Medium finish. Still an 89 point wine overall.

Deep maroon in color with flashes of red at the rim. The nose shows funky earth with cherries, blueberries and mint. Fine firm tannins aith a medium acidity. The palate is clean an simple with anise, blue and black berries, and rich smokey oak. Well made and a surprising wine from a virtually unknown appellation. 3.5/5

I cracked open a bottle to how this is progressing. It is still a wee bit too tannic, and could stand to sleep for a couple years more. However, it shows great promise. Word to the wise, decant at least an hour.

Good solid wine, drinks pleasantly with some texture to it. Full bodied, but not too rich. Eminently quaffable.
