Big and ripe, but somehow still not quite cloying and with a semblance of balance. Not a style I favor - but not a bad exemplar in that style. You can tell the fruit is top notch, and the wine-making is polished - too polished for me. Doubt this will improve with further cellaring.

Light and delicate nose, strawberry off the pallet followed by veritable fruit finish one might expect from a raspberry tort. Clearly a pour reaching back to the foggy and cool vintage of this year. Pairs well with company ;)

Ruby, medium intensity, clear, bright, reflective. Dark fruit aromas - black cherry, blackberry and blue berry, earthiness, tobacco, spice - anise, cloves. Balanced, good tannins, medium - mouthfeel, medium + aftertaste.
