Very pale. Appealing slightly reductive nose. Two years since my last bottle has eased this into a more mature and integrated phase. Drinking very nicely. Subdued red fruit profile dominated by cherry and raspberry. Relatively old world profile. Smooth! Long.finish.

What a difference from a year ago. This is filling out, and needed little air tonight to really show well. Still crisp on entry, with brown spice and violets and earth surrounding the fruit. A hint of that blood orange or some such citrus alongside the expected raspberry and darker cherry. I'm glad to see this starting to really fill out, though still quite fresh and tart.

First time checking in on the 2017. Plenty to enjoy at this stage, but very much showing that whole cluster profile. Amaro, jolly rancher, anise, with a touch of red berries and plums poking through. As others have noted, the palate is quite a bit sappier and more forward than the delicate color would suggest, with punchy acidity. Quite crisp and floral on the finish.

Showing really well with a couple hours air. Light red fruited profile, presumably with the stem inclusion adding some spice notes. Despite the light color there’s depth here. Really hangs on the finish. Mild but notable tannins. Still upside. Best to hold but approachable.

Very pale suggesting a light Pinot Rose but WRONG! Delightful lively nose. BIG complex mouthful. Quite young with a great future. Open next bottle in 2023.
