Holding up pretty good. Nice acidity and red fruit. Morphing a bit into old world, with no excess sweetness. Lovely and will miss it when I drink the last two

Last of 3, and regrettably, agree with Neecies rather than my prior note on longevity. Most of the fruit and a good bit of the acidity have receded, leaving a wine without much character and a shell of what it was a couple of years ago. Not clear if this is a producer or vendor issue, as I had issues with some younger Callunas which were otherwise well reviewed from this source. Under any circumstances, it was good enough to avoid going down the drain, but if I’d been cooking something, or had something planned, it could have gone into, that would have been its fate. Drink tonight if you’ve got it, and if you’re cooking something you can pour it into if your bottle is as faded as mine, all the better. 89-ish if scoring.

Still good but fading compared to past notes. Probably best to drink up

Nice overall. Hits solid in all categories but did not intrigue me very much. Could have been me.

very bright fruit, sour cherry, not very long finish but pleasant.
