Typical light bricking. Strawberries, strawberry compote, a little spice. This turns sweeter and on the second day some VA. Best straight out of the bottle, this has good acidity, depth on the nose, and just a touch unbalanced boiled sweets on the finish. Good

On PnP- On the nose, beautiful strawberry stands out among a bowl of red fruit punch. The palate is thick yet with silky tannins, the red fruits take on a darker and more candied tone finishing with light spice. After starting very strongly out of the gates, the wine transformed in only 30 min from fruit-predominant to strong menthol and light tar. The mint overpowered the initial complexity for the next 6 hours. Still a great showing.

Slow Wine 2014 Tasting (Spiaggia - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of red fruit, forward and firm, slightly short finish. Good.
