  Drank over two nights. Slight improvement on day two. Grippy tannins suggest this needs some time on its side but there is some nice fruit hiding beneath. In Napa this would be twice the price.

  A great gripy tannin with a more delicate mouthfeel and deep red cherry, a hint of anise. Just coming into the drinking window but easily lay down many years. Decanted and consumed over 90 minutes

  Deep violet in the glass with ruby hues. Nose of pencil lead hits me straight off the bat, followed by blackberries, plum and twigs. Quite tertiary on the nose, not expected from a young-ish wine like this. Palate is full, with ripe tannins, moderate acidity and alcohol. Medium finish. No real depth or complexity to this wine. Super dry. Bit topsy turvy in quality, don’t really find it impressive in any way.
