March 25, 2024 - Still very primary, with very little development. Needed some air to temper the acidity and for everything to come together. PnP felt a bit disjoint. Red fruit, a bit of ripeness but not overboard, cola, spice and dried herbs. I'd give this a few more years before opening another.
Light ruby colour.
Pronounced aromas of cranberry, ripe red cherry, strawberry, cola, all spice, vanilla, a hint of smoke, mint, dried herbs.
Pronounced palate.
Medium body, high acidity, medium (-) tannin, long finish. -

June 12, 2023 - Once again I loved the wine but this time felt that it was not ready. Acidic dominant and fruit reserved. I would recommend that you not open this s wine right now.
