Decanted and poured; details evolved over two hours. The nose has excellent complexity with dark strawberry and raspberry notes with tobacco and white pepper as well. On the palate there is good balance with very fine grained tannins. Fresh red cherry skins and some charred sandalwood. There is a bit of weakness on the palate as it thins out just before the finish; this improved over time in the glass. Despite that, this did not disappoint.

Good youthful fruit on the nose, not too sweet, has freshness; lovely supple style, very flavoursome and pretty. Fine tannins. Growing season has been managed well. Very satisfying.

Aerated and decanted about 90 minutes. Light, bright ruby color. Sweet cherry, red berry nose. Really nice, smooth, fruity taste, light finish.
