Very different to a tasting from 4 years ago. A super fun wine in the purest sense. Clean, slightly sweet strawberry fruits, a mineral tinge, and a touch of confectionary. Massively gluggable; sometimes wines just need to be like this.

Very nice wine, but would benefit from another year or 2 in the bottle. Color - dark red. Nose - beautiful coffee note, baking spice, and slight peppery hints. Palate - tart cherry on the front-end, earthiness, cocao powder, non-offensive "sweary" notes. Great integration and excellent balance. Probably would score 92+ in a year or 2. Would pair nicely with a lightly seasoned pork tenderloin.

Redolent menthol grape (unsweetened) grape Popsicle. Clean, minerally finish. Excellent QPR

Huge foral kirsch fruit balanced by crispness, texture & lingering minerality. Outstanding QPR
