Drinking perfectly right now. Bursting with cherries and raspberries and vanilla. A little dryness on the finish, but the fruit has integrated perfectly with the oak. Drink this within the year. Wish I had a case of this. Superb.

Just after opening very powerful tannin, almost harsh and a little thin; 20 minutes later, much more mellow, although still finishes tightly; not a lot of depth, but what is there is pleasant; doesn't really stand up to a red meat; reading what I've just written I think it sounds more negative than intended; very pleasant after opening up; if you have a bottle, expect to enjoy it; if you don't, maybe some other choices are better values.

No score as it had to be heat damaged.Just plain bad enough that I poured it out. Nothing like the first one I had that was easly a 90.

Good bright jammy fruit on the nose, good acidity, some tannins, tart in the middle, light finish. Nice wine.
