  Nose is strong red bell pepper, some smoke, and a hint of jalapeno. Palate is same plus tart red cherry. Acid is medium plus but tannin had completely faded away. Probably on its last legs, but very enjoyable!

  Red fruit - a bit reserved (cherry), strong pepper, nice herbal, good acidity. Lingering finish. Better with a couple hours of air. Popped and poured.

  Wonderful funky nose befitting of a wine of this vintage, followed by a smooth long finish. Well balanced

  For two or three hours after opening, just beautiful with spicy green peppers and austere, fully mature red fruit and some hollows of rusty elements. A modest decline to something more gentle by the end of the night. From mag best enjoyed soon -2018.
