P&p. Fresh sharp aroma like crushed cherries and boysenberries sprinkled with thyme and lavender. Similar flavors; heavy, sappy dried herbs/garrigue, maybe too much at first but with some palate acclimation it works. Good acidity contributes to cohesion and lift. Lingering sappy thyme/garrigue. Characterful with tons of typicity; a bit of a thymebomb but enjoyable for what it is.

Pnp through Nuance Wine Finer. Dark plum color. On the nose, dark fruit, a little raisin, a little spice. On the palate, light tannins, smooth up front with dark fruit flavor. Spice on the long finish. Very interesting for the price point. 90pts. Aloha!

Remarkably well balanced after an hour of decanting. Blackberries, leather, dark cherries. Late peak.

Better than previous bottles. Just a whiff of prunes. Enjoyable.

Unchanged from last note. Drink up or, better yet, make sangria.
