  Starting to fade a bit, so we'll finish our allocation soon. Definitely worth exploring future releases.

  Medium garnet color with transparency. Smells like sour cherry, soil and root vegetables, graphite and wet rocks, little cedar, orange, and floral. Medium (+) body, acid and finish, and flavors of high toned red fruits, sour cherry and raspberry, lemon, black tea, and spice. This is a nice Bojo; perfect with T-day repeat dinner.

  Reasonably complex layers of red fruit and stone. White flowers and perhaps a hint of topsoil. Mouth coating with fresh raspberry and a bit of cream but certainly not creamy. There is a note of cheap tasting wood. Not sure what the oak treatment was here. Absolute searing acidity to the point where it is offputting due to the imbalance. However, this wine did pair well with seared trout and chimichurri. I would not recommend buying more but it was a nice drinking experience. Decanted 4 hours. 85
  
  Following day: Relatively astringent and bitter with not much to offer. Honestly, quite disappointing.

  Quick note: Lighter style: beautiful garnet color, nose of cut strawberries, nice acidity and low-viscosity textures. Excellent with salmon or rich pork dishes.
