  October 28, 2022 - Pronounced nose intensity with primarily red fruits, red strawberry, green bell pepper. Youthful. Medium+ acidity. Medium body and medium+ finish.

  October 4, 2021 - Lovely perfume here, more red fruits and perhaps a touch more ripeness. Herbal character behind the fruit; light, delicate style. Really refreshing. Lovely light touch here. Long.
