Much better in bottle than in barrel, the wine is fresh, medium-bodied, soft, refined, forward and lifted. Easy to like, the elegant red fruits, with their cigar box overtones taste and feel fine. Give this at least 5 years to develop more depth and nuances.

Round ripe fruit with distinctive bell pepper notes and vanilla. Robust sandy tannins and elevated acidity and alcohol balance intense fruit. A big wine well done. UGC Tasting in LA.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting and Winemakers' Dinner (Beurs van Berlage / Eden Hotel): Trade tasting, brief note. Tight and structured, creamy texture but a lack of ripeness and weight, grippy and drying finish.

Medium bodied with smoke-glazed red fruits, soft and gentle textures and a captivating tobacco and cassis oriented finish.
