  Well made, smooth, some weight in it but sadly it has the soapy flavour that I just don’t like. Luckily I only bought the one because at $50 back in 2015 it was not cheap

  A well made wine but lacking fruit at this point in its development. Perhaps this wine is a victims of unmet expectations. Regardless the secondary flavors are well represented. Decent acidity and any tannin is integrated without much notice I can’t see this improving so enjoy now.

  Got plenty of legs left. Needed about an hour to unwind and open up a little, and it got good. Nice acidity, cranberry and hint of orange peel, savory, not sweet on the palate. Interesting to try it again in a year or two, but very pleasant now after a little air.

  Vibrant dark ruby with light ruby red hue..
  
  Nose: Sweet spring violets and strawberries, rich meatiness, cherries, toasty cedar oak, stalk and cloves..
  
  Palate: The palate is packed full of depth, flavour, acid and spice......Cherries, strawberry and slight plums late with meatiness, toasty cedar oak and cloves and a little stalky bite...
  
  Enough acid to carry this 5 years or so...
  
  Yum..
