  4/30/2024 - Julian Marshall Does not like this wine: 75 Points

  Not totally undrinkable but I did give up after one glass. Silky and elegant, but marred by excessive acidity which renders it rather unpleasant.

  Light bodied, bell pepper nose with mild dark fruits.
  On the palate, a bit of blackberry with hint of tart Cherry that transitions in the back palate to spices/pepper and dried herbs. Medium aftertaste with savory mouthfeel and low acid with engrained fine tannins.

  9/18/2020 - Julian Marshall Does not like this wine:

  Quite enjoyable aromas of cherry and flowers, then a light, rather acidic mouthful of high pitched red fruit, mostly cherry, and a crisp finish let down by a strong hint of kirsch. Only the normal 12.5°, quite refreshing at first, but not much fun after a glass and a half.

  100 points for typicity. Ripe fruit, cedar, herbs, no oak. Palate is fresh and vibrant with a slight bitterness. Delicious, especially when chilled a couple of degrees.
