December 25, 2022 - Tasted after a 45 minute decant.
Pale to medium ruby in colour with lovely aromas of earthy forest floor & sweet red fruit with a slight savoury note.
On the palate, medium bodied savoury/tart red fruit, strawberry/red cherry/raspberry, floral, earthy, high acidity, low to medium tannins with a medium to long finish to slightly peppery, sour cherry.
Very nice wine & could have been decanted longer. -

July 9, 2021 - Not everyone’s favorite but I liked it. Still too young. Too acidic and tight.
