The nose is rich, filled with ripe red and black fruit, sweet spices and subtle use of oak.
In the palate, the tannins are soft, rich red fruit again, spicy, med to long finish, easy. Could work with food or on its own.
With time, opens up nicely in the glass

Ripe red fruit, oaky but not heavy, ripe green notes that add freshness, slightly spicy, currant, cherry, nutmeg, a bit of alcohol.
The palate is relatively easy, red fruit, a bit tough tannins but then again the wine is young, spicy, med body and intensity, med to long finish with a bit of alcohol burn again.

Full red fruit, herbal, spicy, thin oak frame, floral, ethereal and silky.
Elegant in the palate, smooth, rich red fruit, spicy, herbal, light oaky, med body and intensity, med to long finish. Very fascinating expression of a variety that is quite often overlooked. Would have this any day
