The nose is fresh and lifted with crunchy red fruits, red berries, strawberries, spice notes, herbs, and some violets. There is some lovely freshness, but it lacks some depth and complexity. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and fresh with crisp, medium+ acidity and slightly coarse, medium+ tannins. The structure is a bit rough around the edges while the feel is a tad hollow on the mid-palate. This is excellent within the vintage, but it lacks otherwise. A few years likely could do this some good, but I don’t see it really kicking on another gear or so.
The nose is vibrant, aromatic, and poised with gorgeous tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, roasted herbs, licorice, a touch of chocolate, violets, leather notes, sweet tobacco, and spices. There is excellent depth and poise for the level as this is really flowing right now. The Medium/full bodied feel is broad shouldered, yet poised with crisp, medium+ acidity and some grip to the medium+ tannins. This is gorgeous right now and with plenty of room to grow with at least another 4+ years of aging.

The nose is heady and refined with complex tones of red cherries, raspberries, strawberries, crushed berries, savory herbs, potpourri, wild flowers, fresh picked roses, and some crushed rocks. There is excellent depth and elegance that is aromatic and fresh. The Medium/full bodied feel is elegant, deep, and refined with tart, medium+ acidity and silky, medium+ tannins. The structure is youthful with some grip and power. This feels like it will really bloom with another 5+ years of aging as there is so much to like there already.

Oh baby. This is just gorgeous and deep as this favors more the bass notes with gorgeous tones of dark red cherries, cranberries, raspberries, crushed berries, sour red fruits, bitter chocolate, roasted herbs, tobacco notes, leather, spice tones, wild flowers, and violets. Even with the youth of the wine, it’s so expressive and gorgeous already. The Full bodied feel is refined and deep with tart, medium+ acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins that have some real grip. The structure is clearly youthful while the nose is shining right now. This can be legendary with more time as it has so much in the tank to improve.
