November 18, 2018 - Blackberry and mulberry, wet soil, liquorice. Medium to full bodied. Alcohol is listed as 14.5% but I have a feeling it’s actually a bit higher. No heat but a bit of a tang that ends up folding into the wine if you give it some time. Lovely wine if you are patient.

July 10, 2017 - Blueberry, mulberry, some vanilla oak and liquorice. Acid sticks out a little but still an enjoyable wine that got better with air.
