Fresh, citrus, lemon, pear, green fruit, herbal/minty, palate freshness, med to high acidity, lemon again, med body, refreshingly bitter, med finish. Youthful and crowd pleaser
Full on fresh and ripe citrus, stone fruit, peach and lime, oak frame that is quite obvious but more so in the palate, warmth, sweetness, vanilla, spice, long finish. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Funny thing is that as its warms up, you get a beautiful watermelon note!
Decanted and slowly tasted Thick red fruit core, mineral, spice frame, floral notes, grilled peppers, palate tight, edgy, needs some time to open up (which it did later on), red fruit, acidity cutting through, med body, med finish
30’ open. Fully developed in color and nose, earthy, dried stale red fruit, old oak, whole spice, cinnamon, smoked paprika, sour cherry, dried cranberry, black olive paste. Palate is very dry, red dried currant, earthy, dissolved tannins, thin body, short finish. Gone
Decanted and tasted. Thick core of black fruit, whole spice, full body, welcoming 40’ in decanter. Full throttle, ripe to overripe black fruit, cherry, berry, fruit in alcohol, whole spice, cinnamon, clove, thick but elegant oak frame, black olive notes. Palate following the same pattern, spice and ripe fruit, tight tannins, opens up nicely, youthful, long finish 1.10 hr in decanter. The wine opens up more, full black ripe berry, sour cherry, sweet spice notes, chocolate notes, floral notes. Palate smooth, juicy, decadent, spice, a touch warm, tannins still tight 1.50hr in decanter. The wine keeps the same profile in the nose ripe black fruit, balanced, smoked spices, palate dries up a bit, tight, alcohol warmth, med body and long finish
