Very nice. The nose is earthy with compost, dark red fruits. On the palate, the fruit is up front and round. Sweet berries on top of ample acidity and velour tannins make for a very pleasing wine.

Quite heavily reduced. Improved slightly with air - revealing some black fruit, molasses and tar - but not so much that it became enjoyable. Quite a bit of dry extract also detracted from an otherwise fresh palate.

Not decanted. Very sweet fruit profile and still on the young side. Will improve a bit with bottle age. Drink 2015-2019. 88+

Aromatic notes of red fruits, balanced acidity that explodes with tart fruits, easy drinking nice come home selection.

Did not care for at first, but I opened and poured, drank by itself. Let it open up and paired with a flank steak, much better experience.
