Barnyard and rich cherry. Garnet crimson. Beautiful full mouthfeel, fruit forward cherry and red fruit front end, hint of bitter cherry, chocolate, great finish. Drinking beautifully. Delicious (Ei -yummy!)

A little restrained on the nose, baked fruit and spice, a little medicinal. Lots of acidity balanced by well rounded tannins, smooth mouth-feel. Comes alive on the palate with forest fruits, medicinal spice and herbs. Not very long, clean finish. Drinking well now, may not last much longer.

Nose - cool/menthol, touch closed, savoury notes opening into strawberry and mulberry fruits. Young. Palate is rich, medium to full bodied, iodine, soy/umami tied to black fruits and powerful tannins. One for the cellar.

Spectacular. Sweet wildflowers red berries and forest floor. Juicy with great acidity on a pleasurable long finish. Translucent garnet color. Delicate body that made this a pleasure.
No decant but tried vinituri which brought out some aromatics but this was showing nice without the decant.

Thin and sharp and fading almost immediately on the palate. Slight port on the nose suggests heat exposure perhaps. Purchased through Wine Bid.

Limpid. Very long and mouth filling. Faint perfume of roses. Very delicate.

A little sweet, very powerful tannic structure, Long liquorice aftertaste. Perhaps a little past it’s best and has lost some fruit

Same as prior note with perhaps more floral notes than red fruit.

Popped and poured. Good acidity. Little funk. Needs a decant. Revisit in a while.

Slightly reticent cherry nose. Light to medium-bodied. Moderate acidity. Fine chalky, minerally finish.
