Medium-bodied, bright, earthy, fresh and focused more on its secondary notes than the receding plums and cherries. The finish is on the austere, firm side. This is not a wine to hold for development.

Popped and poured. My first time with this wine, but I liked it. Certainly youthful, but eminently drinkable. Not much on the nose, but loads of black cherry on the fore and aft palate. Likening this one more as the night progresses.

Much nicer nose than palate notes of fleshy plums, blueberry and toasted oak on the nose, some of the blue fruit dominates palate with not much else going on finishes thin and quick

Seems a bit more closed than previous bottle, notes of plum, blackberry, thyme and earth tones, similar palate with a relatively weak finish
