Tasted past peak and a little disjointed but still tasty with long citrus driven finish. Definite orange and orange peel peaking through the cherry on the palate. Citric acid dominates. Some bricking around the exterior of the rim.

Last of 6 bottles. Sad to see this bottling go. Beautiful red cherry notes, some cinnamon and dry leaves on nose. Still has nice acidity and sour cherry palate. Needed about 20 mins to blow off though.

Lovely at this point in time. Had with pancetta & mushroom risotto and it was a lovely match. The wine is nicely integrated now, with even mouthfeel. Lovely forest floor leaves in the bing cherry mix now.

Minimal rim variation. Sonoma Coast style nose, with loads of red fruit and cherry cola, but with some dried/candied cherry notes. Impressive freshness, acidity and tannic grip. Excellent wine.

Well-integrated. Worth the wait. Smooth mouth feel. Pepper and fruit in great balance.
