On first taste I would have rated 89 at best. Great floral nose but otherwise not what I was hoping for. After an hour or so of air the somewhat overbearing sour orange gives way to smoke, pepper, blood orange, meat, vanilla..rosemary? Very round flavors. Maybe a little short on the finish. Next time I'll decant and just be patient! Second bottle every bit as good as the first. Perfect pairing with salmon with roasted fennel and blood orange sauce.

Has really calmed down since my last bottle. Bright fruit, crisp, spice box, lots of flavor. Very Good.

Bright and crispy with pepper overtones. Its on the lighter side, paired well with chicken soup.

Sour cherry, boysenberry, vanilla. Peppery on the back. Some chewy tannins too. Nice
