  Bright cherry red. After an hour or so, this presents a perfumed blend of ripe confit strawberry, high-toned red cherries and cranberries, with a well-integrated layer of vanillin oak. Savoury wafts of milk chocolate, liquorice, oregano and underbush come and go. The middleweight palate is fresh and tart, with piercing acidity - a kiss of stems on the extended finish, lingering long on delicate red fruit. Super. 93+

  Opened for a full day but recorded after opening. Experiment. Didn’t pour any the first day.softer Red fruits but also a bit of tartiness Lil bit weird on the palate. A bit aggressive Not smooth. But once again this received minimal air. Not as well of a showing to my prior bottle but once again gave this bottle up for experimentation. I won’t rate this time.

  Bright red fruits on the nose. Fruity finish but not too fruity. Towards the end of the 30 to 40 sec finish u get a burst of strawberries an tart red fruits. It’s not too fruit but it’s very sweet Hardly any tannins til about 10 seconds in an mouth watering acidity throughout. Good drinker. Not in my wheelhouse but wouldn’t mind having it again. I let this sit in the bottle for about 3 hours before trying with the cork out obviously
