Medium nose intensity with notes of black fruits, cassis, fig and prune. Medium acidity and medium tannin.

Dream Big, California Wines (Hotel Atlantic, Hamburg, Germany): One glass, brief note: good grip, black rich fruit, powerful, still ending adstringent, needs some more years time, *(*-***), about 88+ potential

Black-berry fruits, red cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus, fresh cut grass and tar on the nose, with more tart cherry and red berry fruits. Palate confirms the nose with firm tannins balanced by enough acidity. Alcohol is pretty high, this wine is best served at 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Soft, approachable, and balanced, with black currant, plum, licorice, and toasty oak notes that show good richness, weight, and typicity. As dependable as usual. Ready now, no need to wait.
