Color is maroonish-red. Nose is light and fruity. Very pleasant with rose petals, strawberries, and licorice. Clearly opens up after some time in the decanter. Light-Medium bodied. Nice fruit, followed by a dry finish. Initially it was short as the other reviewers noted, however, after an hour it came together and finished much stronger. Be patient with this one - it needs some time to open up. Very well developed at this point and probably at peak with 1 - 2 years remaining.

A nice mix of dark red fruits, licorice and peppery spice. Medium acidity and tannin. Smooth, if slightly short finish. Not a complex wine but tasty and paired well with bold flavored Cuban food.

Good Rhone notes of the nose with vibrant dark fruits and lots of CdP character on the palate. Light on its feet, but not lacking in interest. Drinking great now with a long fruit filled finish.

This was ready to go upon being Coravin'd. While the nose was more muted, the heat on the palate is gone. Nice cherry with some pepper. Short finish.
