Med plus body. Burning barn filled with wet straw and fresh torn peppercorn beef jerky. Hints of fresh red bell pepper, black berry jam. Nice wine. Complex, balanced. Overall good wine.

Striking garnet ruby deep rose red. Cooked fruits, present tanins. Nothing special about it. Nothing wrong with it.

Bright vibrant ruby red. Strong legs. Medium plus accidity. Palateable tannins. Tanned leather. Red bell peppers. Nice wine. Young. Could use another year to age.

Malo takes over aromas. Mild acidity. Long last on pallet. Hidden fruits. I suggest at least 40 min decanting.

Petrol aroma. Mild pallet. This wine is confused. Likely needs more time.
