Interesting wine. Was expecting a fruit bomb but it was very much in the background. Blackberry fruit and floral aroma; on palate was a bit rough and tumble, but interesting and pleasing. A little earth and black fruit on the finish.

Tremendously aromatic and original on the nose (cherries, blueberries, pomegranate, even sweet black licorice) with a creamy background. Perfect acidity with a sweet touch. Alcoholic, spicy, blueberries on the palate and less creaminess than expected. Long lasting finish showing different nuances. A Very pleasant surprise.

New style to me but enjoyable. lots of earthiness & minerality to it, both on nose & palate. Little fruit. Very fleshy/ meaty character and mouthfeel. Not much change day 2-3

Clear. Very dark. Inky. Garnet.
Clean nose. Black cherries. Load more going on that I don't have the vocab for.
Clean. Dry. High acidity. Medium tannin. Bitter cherries. Chemical . Again lot of stuff goon on here. Full bodied. Medium finish.
Very good quality.
