Balsamic, darker liquorice tones with really perfumed character, spiced and floral - crunchy cranberry and black cherry fruit, bold oak and violets. A sense of transparency on the palate- tannins abundant, grainy and grippy without the fruit to carry it. Drying and slightly pinched finish.

PnP. I can't say this bottle was technically defective, but I don't know what was wrong. It had the right nose at the start, but the light strawberry notes at the front end disintegrated into a bitter, astringent finish. Giving it a little time in the glass didn't help. Normally I am a fan of the ABC styles, but this bottle was a bad apple.

Nose of red fruits, infused tannins, well balanced.

No formal notes. Lovely CA PN. Warm red fruit, not extracted or ripe, with some earthy undertones.

Great nose. Good fruit. Holding up well for a 6 year old $30 bottle. Quality winemaking for sure.
