  Consistent with past notes, only this has improved (after some airtime in the decanter). Very lovely wine. Drink 2022-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 93.

  Opened and decanted 1.5 hours ahead of grilled garlic pork loin. Took about an hour to open up. High-toned raspberry and tart rhubarb notes with spring flowers, cloves, and potpourri on the nose. The palate is medium-light, square, tight, and crunchy, bringing sour cherries, ripe blueberries, boysenberries, red currant, pomegranate, and wood smoke into a textured, tannic, and lengthy finish. Distinctive wine, sort of a cross between a Pinot Noir and a Nebbiolo. Drink 2021-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Interesting and rather impressive. Fresh and vibrant, light red berries on the nose. Elegant and pure on the palate. Rather biting tannins - apart from that it could be mistaken for a burgundy. Like it lot. Drink now pr within 2-3 years.

  Dominantly red berry profile. Great wine, juicy with a grip. Should profit from more time in the cellar
