This took almost 2 hours after opening to transition from a very closed almost green/raw wine when opened to smooth out and reveal the balance of the fruit, (cassis, dark berries) wood, subtle acid and smoooth tannins. Very dark red through to the edges, lush body and good length. really good drinking but will benefit from a decant and at least an hour and a half breathing time. Should last another decade.93+

Good. Not a big wine, but tasty red berry fruit. Very enjoyable.

Decent, but a touch too much oak, a touch too sweet and a little light on the acid.

Needed to soften and breathe for almost 90 minutes. Initially we thought it tasted like vinegar. Wine is soft and balanced and lots of fruit
