  Medium body (14.3%) dark red wine. Nice floral nose followed by enjoyable plum and black cherry fruit. Pleasing mineral finish.

  Colour is still pretty young looking, not much brick on the rim, lovely red cherry robe. More red and black cherries on the nose, still pretty primary with limited secondary notes, maybe a tinge of mushroom and some oak. Palate is medium bodied, still with some sweetness, more red cherry but also some raspberry/strawberry. Juicy, but with soft tannins. Just a bit of acidity to keep things in balance. Excellent and tasty. Not sure this had enough backbone to go a few more years - so glad I opened now. Interested to see if this gives some more with air. For now, solid 91.

  Red fruit, spices, cola. Elegant, medium-bodied palate.

  Nose of dry red fruits, wet clay/earth, sawdust and a light note of oil paint. Lively red berry drives across the tongue with acidity and energy adding cherry, sour preserve notes, and plenty of spice and lots of grainy texture. The tannins build on the finish, adding strawberry pie, the same wet earth from the nose, some Indian spice, and a light oak frame. Well balanced and drinking well now. QPR on this one was reasonable for Kosta too as I paid $77.
