Juicy, expressive nose focused on red fruit. Dusty, slightly smoky aromas over red berries and cherry. Some cinnamon toast. On the palate, it comes across a bit hot, but at 13.9% abv I attribute that more to how my palate sometimes reads acid. It's a more elegant expression in that it's lighter to medium-bodied, not offering much in the way of texture. Red fruits dominate with a ripe quality so it doesn't drink tart. Suggestions of vanilla and sage. Though it's not overly complex or weighty, it does linger nicely with a lengthy finish. Who doesn't like a bowl of fresh cherries?

Very average bottle from a decent vintage. Disappointing this bottle didn't have more stuffing, character and substance.

Very rounded mouthfeel of light vanilla and caramel. Tropical fruit flavors of guava and mango. Well balanced acidity, medium finish.

Medium complexity, soft tannins, good balance. This is drinking well now. Probably one to drink by 2021.
