  Not a ton going on, black fruit, a little flabby. Drink any time.

  So young in colour, even darker than a 2013 Cayuse the other night. Expressive nose, full of dark ripe fruit, blackberries and dark plums, maybe a tinge of smoke and some dried herds btu this is mainly about fruit on the nose. Also and pure and intense on the palate - loads of sweet blackberry and dark cherry fruit - soft to medium tannins, juicy acidity - this is drinking very well. Not a tonne of complexity but the purity of fruit and depth of flavour are delicious. Overall this punches way above its price - excellent.

  Super tight and restrictive with note of purple berries and sous bois sticking out

  Nicely styled, seems to be drinking very well. Decanted and enjoyed with Jambalaya. Deep purple color, full bodied, developing. Medium plus aromas and flavors of violets, smoked meat, sweet black licorice, blackberry liqueur, ripe black cherry, creamy mocha, green herbs, and fresh black, moist soil. Rich and smooth in the mouth. Integrated structure. Medium plus finish. Drink through 2025.

  Cherry Twizzlers. That is all.
