Quite dark blood red, but with a fairly wide pale rim. Barely any legs. Fresh acidic nose of sour cherries opening up to a spicy baked earth. Light bodied but smooth and velvety in the mouth with good acidity and modest alcohol. A light spiced cherry flavour, quite appealing but not very deep, with a hint of bitterness. Finish quite short but well balanced. 15.5/20

Ruby red color. Smoky cherry and red currant on the nose. Medium body with overwhelming cherry flavor and maybe some leather. Decent finish with an odd bitter taste at the end. Not sure how to characterize this. Decent acidity but wouldn't hold this one too long. It needed time to open up. After 30 min in decanter it was a different and improved wine. ~$20.
