Drunk over 2 nights. Young but definite potential upside, although enjoyable now. Will add some complexity over the next few years. Hold for now, next try in 2022+. 92-93

Needs time. A big wine but not rich or overdone. Plenty of cedar on the nose. There’s a highly pitched and potentially polarising acid profile that I suspect will resolve in time, but may not. Mainly red fruits, with sour cherry leading the way. Dried herbs and vanilla from the oak influence. Has a bit of a generic ‘mass produced’ feel about it. Juicy mouth filling fruit and sticky but fine tannins signal a very long life ahead.

Too young. Pleasant and will integrate with more time. Wait until 2025.
