  Slightly reductive charred wood nose. Bright red and black fruit combo with some whole bunch (guessing) complexity. Acidity is tip top. Complexity. Fully resolved tannin support a surprisingly lengthy finish for a less expensive wine. Insane QPR. This is in a really good place.

  This is an excellent wine. Not overdone. Complex nose of plums and dark berries. Others have said turned earth. See that. Great balance of fruit, acid and tannin with minimal if any oak intrusion. Can it get better? Maybe, but delicious now.

  Juicy and delicious. Dark berries, hints of turned earth and new leather, fresh and lively on the nose. Palate has excellent balance, good intensity without being heavy, plenty of blue and black berry fruits, some plum too, integrated tannins, long finish. Has an effortlessness about it that makes for tasty drinking.

  superb value! Dark Crimson, inky purple. Tastes of dark cherries, and all things berries, slightly meaty, and chewy. Probably a little bit of whole bunch action giving it a bit more interest. Long and delicious.

  Fully excellent this. Fresh, smashable, yet complex. Meat, assorted red fruits especially cranberry, spice, chocolate. Finish adequate, actually the main thing holding this back from higher points.
