Popped and poured. Light to medium bodied. Very pure flavors of red cherry, menthol, herbs and minerals. Lovely, low/no oak wine. Lacks a little depth but makes up for it with wonderful balance.

Slow ox 30 min. Wild berries and herbs on the nose. The wine is very transparent and fresh, showing excellent tension and focus particularly for the vintage. Red cherry, wild herbs and smoke come across. Still youthful so should have some time to evolve although it’s drinking quite well now.

Out of 500mL. Not very good right now. The fruit is non-descript, and not showing much concentration. Possibly just in a shutdown/grumpy stage, but this doesn't seem to be hiding behind structural elements with lots in reserve, it just seems blah.

Pale ruby red in the glass, this wine has spectacular density and concentration of color. Aromas of dried fruits, figs and forest floor leap from the glass. Cherry cola is pronounced on the palate, with just a bit of cinnamon spice. Acidity is a bit over the top, especially after a glass or two. Great wine, but the balance could be cleaner
