Nice. Lovely dark and red fruits and some spice on the nose. Well balanced, with fine tannins that are smooth. Nice acidity. Should age several more years. I generally keep these wines longer in the cellar, but wanted something young with a lot of fruit for guests. This didn't disappoint.

Very similar to my note of 6/24/2017, but the potential is starting to come through, especially on the nose. Still young, but excellent tension between the luxurious red fruit, some underbrush and acidity.

Drank at a tasting party next to Domaine Serene Evenstad 2014. This was bright and acidic, with berry notes. It's made in a lighter, more austere style than the Evenstad or the other Winderleas I've had from Dundee. There was also the hint of a metallic/chemical element that gave some guests pause, though I didn't note it as a flaw. Overall good but a little disappointing for a signature wine, given that I've found Winderlea's other Dundee bottlings--Murto, Maresh, etc.--more to my liking.

Dark cherries, strawberries, anise, toast. Real well balanced acid. Maybe mild tannins
