Has got quite classy aromas of freshly fruited plums interspersed with flowers, cloves and mulberries. Its medium bodied elegant and finessed palate has the same lovely pure fruit meshed with oak. It unfortunately has a hollowish middle. Ends shortish.

Needs Two hours being decanted to bring fruit out from tannin. Still misses fruit as well not enough of the typical barn/ tobacco to be a solid Bordeaux. More time in bottle will help.

Huge discrepancy between nose and palette, with lovely fragrant aromas of buttery red fruit, peppery balsamic strawberries, and milk chocolate leading to an unpleasantly dry, astringent mouthfeel and thin flavours; just not much there, and nothing really opens up.

Cigar box, cherry and plums, balanced, decent finish. Not really nuanced but for 20ish dollars it has aged well and is drinking nicely

Medium dusty tannins - somewhat resolved. Good balance. Solid wine. Cab Franc shows through in the blend nicely.
