Vibrant wine. Still young but lacks the complexity and balance for the long haul. Drink 2024 to 2026. Sweet cassis and super ripe cherry verging on tart. Hints 9f mocha and vanilla. Fruit when picked seems super ripe and tastes of acidification to compensate. A common theme these days. Nice daily drinker.

Grippy tannins, tea leaf, dark tobacco, mushroom, sweet cherry, under ripe plum skins, blackberry, hint a of green pepper. Very well blended. 20 min decant. No need to rush though or drink remaining bottles.

Wonderful and vibrant strawberry flavor with hints of light cherry, orange and subtle blackberry. Nice gravel minerality with a perfect amount of acidity. Light bodied. Beautiful deep rose color that just adds to the enjoyment of tasting. It is a must to decant for at least 1 hour as this opens up the flavors in the wine as does a good chilling of the wine. Without doing so you would miss out on what this wine has to offer.
