  Dark ruby and purple in colour, with a nice nose with a mix of red and black fruit, and an earthy note. The palate is medium bodied, again with a mix of more red (dark cherry) than black fruit (boysenberry), with a nice purity (and a bit of spice) to the fruit and a velvety texture. Very slight tannins now. Dare I say its a bit pinot like, but mainly it's a comfortable, charming, cozy up around the fire kind of wine. Drinking well now, but no rush (A-).

  Better over time. 12.5% ABV.
  87-88
  Update: drinking well three days later, after having been stored in the fridge, vacuum corked. Flavora of sour cherries, ripe cranberries, hibiscus flowers, and tart rosehips, with additional notes of old foudres on the backpalate. Finishes dry, with good concentration. Hold till 2019. 88+

  P&p; best with 30+ minutes of air in the bottle. Pretty, floral, leafy, sappy/tarry, delicately spicy aromas, overlaying barely ripe mixed berries with their seeds. Similar flavors but with somewhat friendlier, juicy fruit; good fresh acidity; quite tasty/moreish. Weightless, highly drinkable. Good stuff.
