  Lighter in color especially towards the edges almost orange tinged, nose of red berries and white pepper, a bolder spiced component as well, milder on the palette, firm enough to have some intensity, but a watery fruitiness, pepper in the back of the tongue and throat.

  Phil's impromptu tasting fun (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney): Clean, red berry fruit, a little spice, blackberry, pepper, a little smoky note. Beautifully integrated acid, fruit, spice, softly grainy tannins, long, elegant, fresh, generous, really lovely.

  Dark pink color with medium legs. Cherry and spices on the nose. Peppery palate with raspberry color. Angular finish with a bit of heat.

  Peppery, medium acidity, light smooth tannins. Easy sipping. Not a love, kind of a like. I wouldn't get it again.
  
  UPDATE: After a few more tastings, I changed from neutral to dislike. I don't enjoy it, it's just too simple and fruity. Not as peppery as when I first opened it, but just not something I'd want to drink.
